high speed brake vibration question

high speed brake vibration question
Symptom
high-speed braking vibration through the steering wheel, but no vibration through the brake padel.
Known Defects
I know my 2 front wheels are bent and my alignment is off a bit, too
Recent mods
i recently installed a set of BBK on my car, I had to use 15mm spacers in order to clear the caliper. i am almost 100% sure the installation/bedding was done right and the BBK parts are not defective. that being said, after the installation i took the car out for a ride and i noticed that on the highway, when i am over 60mph, if i brake, there is a steering wheel vibration/shake and it is pretty severe.
Could this be caused by my bent front wheels or my alignment? Keep in mind i also installed the 15mm hub-centric spacers which changed the geometry a bit on the front wheels.
Thanks.

^ this is not for an evo, and i dont think it matters which car it is for. i gave all the information i knew and just trying to have the knowledgeable members here give their best advice/recommendations.
i cant turn the rotors because they are slotted.
and i agree, stock evo brakes are very.

If the steering wheel only vibrates when you apply brakes at high speeds, your rotors are uneven. Plain and simple. If it was anything else it would vibrate all the time.
I base this solely on my own experience, maybe someone else will tell you what you want to hear.
Good Luck

You didn't read it? Tell us how you bedded in your pads exactly please.

Read those, make sure your pads are bedded in properly, and that will probably take care of the deposits on your rotor. If not, then yes you can sand them down lightly but doubtful that is necessary.
