Brake Rumble
I get a sort of rumbling when I brake, it's like there is something worn. It seems to disappear once the speed drops below 95mph but at higher speeds it's a bit worring.

95?
I have the same problem - turned out to be the rear brake rotors. Pads were worn to the rivets, destroying the rotor (and making a nice grinding sound)

now that you mention it, I did change all the brake pads recently and some of the disks were bit worn but I thought they would last another cycle.
After I changed the pads the weather wasn't good so I haven't been driving so fast. |

The rotors didnt look OEM/OM, more like autozone junk...
OEM looks so much nicer...

if you
have ridges on the edges you can get metal on metal without having all the pad gone. this would cause rumble.
