Hmmm... maybe warped rotors.

Done any hard breaking or stiff breaking on turns or curbs

you wont always see the warp visually. it could be few millimetres and you wont see it but under braking you will feel it

what can i do? replace the rotors?

depending on the amount of rotor material left and the severity of the warp they could be machined, if they are bad enough then replace them.

you can also visually check them somewhat by looking at the reflection in the rotor. if it's straight then it's not warped
