.. probably non specific questions but any way.. maybe more centralized on this model?
driving is fine
it is balanced and most likely may need another alignment..
but the vibration is only when the brakes are applied.. so what is this possibly the rotors are warped? or what else could cause such symptoms? It is getting worse with time and the faster you go the harder the vibrating becomes..
almost jumpy when you brake downhill from the off ramp at 70 mph.. horrible
:headshake
need to resolve this soon.. not good anymore.. thank you in advance

Most likely the rotors are done. Try pulling the parking brake only a time or two when the traffic is not present to make sure it is not the drums out of round.

I never turn rotors any longer, if they get warped I replace them. My 05 had 110k miles on the original rotors with only a pad replacement at around 65k.
