Brakes question

Probably a stupid question but at highway speeds, when I hit the brakes, I get a really bad vibration. However the steering wheel does not shutter or shimmy, just the car. I'm thinking rear rotors warped??? Could some peeps just confirm this or offer a better suggestion? Oh and it's a '10 SS.
Thanks

Not a tc guy so I don't know. I kinda prefer to just stick with stock (Acdelco). They're fairly cheap and I work at an Acdelco shop lol

The Hawk pads are a step down from the Brembo pads so if you are able I would stick to Hawk on the rears and Factory on the front IMO.
