Just thinking, which always seems to get me into trouble, but
none-the-less.  This from
someone who doesn't use ABS (no cars n ew enough).   Is it possible that
you have (at
least one) warped brake rotor.  I had a work van which did this same
thing, and that
was the diagnosis.  Seemed like a shuddering under light pedal pressure,
and then when
I nailed the brakes as hard as I dared in the Toyota (unstable piece of
**** that it
was) the shuddering dissipated.

Just a thought
