Default 08 s6 new front brake pads

dealer installed new front brake pads

steering vibrates while braking at highway speeds - dealer suggests hard braking to wear the brake pads - is this normal?

Did you get new brakes AND rotors? I recently did the brakes and rotors on my A6and no such issue, in terms of needing to bed the brakes.

What you've described is usually attributable to warped rotors.

Raj is right check the rotors first.

I believe you also posted an identical thread in another forum. I gave you a more detailed reply there.

Don't believe it, what were the specific spec of the rotors? The issue you've described is synonymous with warped rotors.
