Need help!! ABS? new tires? alignment?

well i've searched and searched but no luck....i wouldn't post unless i really had too but i really need help....
----the car has spc front camber and tein s-techs-----

when i back out of the driveway and then slow down it sounds like me abs is trying to kick in or something...and it wont slow down!! its kinda scary.....the abs and vdc or slip light don't come on or anything....when driving forward it sorta pulsates but the car slows down....i know its not the rotors or brake pads because i just changed them...i thought that might have been the reason for the abs crap happening....but i guess it might be something else....

...when i worked at the dealership one of the techs said it was because of my tires, but that was before i had the camber kit. got the new tires and the problem went away...then i got the camber kit...a year later the problem comes back.... i searched the forum and some people say it might need a proper alignment but my car doesn't pull to the sides or anything... i just don't know what the frikkin problem is...i hope you guys can help me out
thanks in advance...

Normally one has alignment checked every 6 months or at least until it doesn't change from bushing wear. Never seen a vehicle that doesn't change in 6 months.

How many times have you flipped and rotated tires in the year? Directionals need it every 90 days if you want quiet.

If the tires are half worn [or have more than 8k] the noise cancelling tread design is out of tune [depth of tread changed].

Curious, have you tried pumping the brake pedal before backing up. Both G35s I've owned seem to pressurize the system half way down my driveway, sometimes a little later. Makes the ABS sound without the pulsation. Braking can be soft during that period. Thoughts?
