You sure it's the ABS? Sounds like a warped disc...

More than likely you need new rotors, they have a bad habit of warping which will give you brake shudder.
Replaced mine 3 months ago with DBA slotted rotors $105ea, thanks to Cam at hightek brakes (site Sponsor)

More than likely as mentioned your rotors may need machining.
A simple way to rule out the ABS is to remove the ALB fusible link - this disables the ABS, and the car will brake like a non ABS car. Road test the car, if the problem remains it's not the ABS.
