Brake pedal flutter
 
I think my brakes are kinda f***ed up
When braking at high speeds my brake pedal flutters a little and the steering wheel shakes and the car kinda jumps a little when comming to a full stop. What do you guys think this could be??
Even during normal cruising the steering wheel shakes a bit. I thnk it could be that my suspension bushings are worn or somthin

The shaking when you brake is caused by warped brake rotors. If they are relatively new and thick, they can be turned or machined back to being true - for only about $10 each. If they are quite worn, then it's time for new front brakes.
The shaking when the car is just rolling is probably an unbalanced front wheel. That, or even a bit of suspension play, but more likely the wheel. All of this together - the rotors, the wheel and the suspension will make for quite an uncomfortable ride. The brakes and the wheels can be done quickly and inexpensively, the suspension can be a bit pricier though.
