Wheel shakes when braking, should I upgrade guide pins?

Hi guys,

I have a 128i with stock brakes. I've been experiencing a minor steering wheel shake when braking above 60. Did some very hard driving yesterday in up state NY for a few hours and really got some heat in the brakes. Steering wheel shake got much worse now. I've had this issue before, and I'm curious if I should upgrade the guide pins? ECS website says more even wear of the brake pads. I'm just trying to prevent the issue from happening in the future. What do you think? Or is this just normal? For the life of me I can't think of what would have caused this. Thanks.
