Default Slotted & Cross drilled rotors cause vibration??
I got Brembo factory replacement rotors with EBC green stuff brke pads on factory calipers. The problem I'm having is when I apply the brake semi-hard my steering wheel and car shakes.

Is that normal for slotted & cross drilled rotors?

No. You may have a warped rotor, or glazed pad.

Default no.
slotted and/or x-drill rotors do make a slight buzzing sound when you brake. There shouldn't be any vibration felt through the steering wheel however.
Double check that all your caliper, and carrier bolts are all tightened properly.

I have a very subtle vibration, more of a rumble under heavy braking but nothing that shakes the car

that's most likely just the brakes working at the threshold
