I had this with my car and it was the discs that were classed as warped. Only by 0.6mm but that's enough when driving to feel a vibration.

Is it smooth when you brake gently or do you feel any kind of judder

I had the same problem and I thought it was an alignment issue. I went into the tire shop to get some new rear tires and asked them to realign the fronts thinking that was the issue. Well they showed me the front tires and the inside of the tire had wore down soo much that was flat on the inside but still a good depth on the outside of the tire. I got the front tires replaced as well and bang! no more vibration at higher speeds.

Road Force Balancing with a PROPERLY CALIBRATED machine and a tech that KNOWS how to actually use the machine and understand the readings they get. These cars are VERY SENSITIVE to any tire imbalance.

Yes you have it spot on, the camber can wear the inside with hard use over time and is a cause of imbalance.

Had the same issue. Tried to get another few hundred miles out of the rears and vibration at 90+. Slapped on a new set and poof, vibration was gone.
