Rear ABS
 
Pedal Judder when braking without any noticible judder through steering is usually rear disc's either knackered or suffering from some from of surface issue.
On mine when a muppet garage broke the tip off the sensor the abs light came on all the time and disabled the abs, the brakes were truely awesome during that period but scary when wet.

Whats wrong with the sensors, after all they are only magnets attached to a coil, not much can go wrong with them apart from environment such as faulty connectors or like mine the end broke off. They can be a bugger to change due to rusted bolts otherwise easy to replace

I replaced 2 ABS sensors on mine - subaru wanted £160 each but Grade A Subaru did them for £40 ... job done :D
