Default vibrating issue

Well I am hoping someone can help me with this problem. When I step on the brakes lightly at any speed above about 15 MPH the steering wheel shakes like it is a brake problem. If I get on the brakes hard I dont feel anything it is just under normal braking that I can feel it. I dont think it is anything with the brakes though because I had the problem with the old brakes put new calipers disk and pads on the front of the car and it is still there. Could this be maybe a bad tie rod? I jacked up the car and tried to see if I had any play in the wheel and couldnt find any. I really need to try to get this fixed before the next track day that is coming up. Thanks for any advice you guys can give me.

Warped rotors? Bushings?

motor mount......if the car is shaking hard when u break and the faster u go the harder it shakes its probably the motor mount...because i was going like 80mph and the car was like doom doom doom and starting shaking so hard you counlt control it....that was bad ....its because i ignored the problem when the mount was starting to go

rotors are brand new so I know that there isnt a chance in hell that I have warped those Brembo Blanks. I also have all new bushings in the whole car. Energy suspension with the exception of the rear trailing arm where I have the mugens.
HHMMMM The motor mounts this is more of a pulsing and the vibration dosnt get any worse with increased speed you just dont notice it below 15 or so and only when you are on the brakes normally if I stand on them like right before the point of locking them up. There is no pulsing anyone else? It is quite a mystery to me.

hey, i have the same problem.. i am trying to work out what my problem is. here is a link to the topic. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1322861 so far i have replaced rotors, and the pads are flat.. i am deffinetly thinking that something in the suspension is mess up now. i am also thinking that ball joints could be a problem, and a person also mentioned wheel bearings. both of us are in the same money situation as well, where i would like to find the cheapest solution to mine, but i am starting to think that my problem wont be fixed unless i spend the money on ball joints and wheel bearings.
