I'd say your rotors are warped and it has nothing to do with the suspensions settings.
I recommend turning the rotors or replacing them with Powerslots. Powerslots run about $150/pr for that car. Turning costs maybe $10/rotor and doesn't permenantly fix the problem.
Werd.

You already got your answer. Turn your rotors or get new cheap ones and get new pads while you're at it.
