kinda touchy, not like going to floor or anything, but just touchy feeling
they also feel a little pulsey as low speeds, but they are not anti-lock

Have you inspected the brakes at all?
Fluid Level?
Have you bled them lately?
Are the pads okay? (i.e. is one side worse than the other which may be a bad caliper)
Is there fluid on the rotor and/or in the drums?
etc, etc, etc
There is a lot we need to know before we can help. The more details about what you found helps a lot.

it's more like they are not as responsive as they where a week or two ago, push it brakes down, then not much happens, then a little further they really grip...
it;s like the brakes are working in stages, or steps rather than being progressive
as for the warped brake idea... this feels different
I have not noticed any fluid
no clue when it was last bled... but honestly if it needs bleed there is a problem

could be a caliper acting up.
check the pads and see how worn they are.
have you added brake fluid recently? ( indicated pad/shoe wear or a leak )

takes a lot to warp rotors.
It is more likely brake dust deposits. Do 5-6 35mph-5mph stops..Do the same at 45mph and then a few more @ 60mph.
This should get rid of the deposits and the pulsating feeling should be gone.
It's common of you do a lot of bumper to bumper driving.
