I think it may have something to do with the wheel balancing mate. I'd get it checked

Slightly warped discs and maybe a combination of that and worn bottom ball joints.

Also check the steering coupling if its a rubber one as although that wont be a cause it can make them feel odd when their worn.

What pads you running?
Some leave a deposit on the disks (DS2500's for example) during "normal" use that can cause this.
soloution can be a very hard brake from a high speed to standstill as this will burn off any deposits on the disks.

mine did this but didnt feel too bad as the worn steering coupling bush must have taken the worst away but after changing the bush it got far worse.. just brought new rotors to fit so hopefully will cure the problem.. ive managed to end up with warped disks on a car with 20 miles on the clock.. golf gt luckily not mine tho..

Did you give the drive flange a damn good wire brushing before putting the discs back on? Crap trapped behind the disc can cause the same symptoms as warped discs.

Warped discs or worn compliance bushes (where anti roll bar goes through bottom arms).
