thanks for the site desert.
nspec, I am almost 100% sure is not the rotors. I am thinking bent rim or the negative -3 camber in one of the front tire. I don't understand why is happening now and not before. almost every part of the suspension and steering are new.

but u said that its only shakes during breaking right? if it were a bent rim it'd do that constantly.
do this simple step:
take out ur front tire (i guess do this on both) take a very straight object ( like an aluminum ruler or something similar) and put it against the rotor and see if it they line up straight. u'll have to pay very close attention cause its hard to see the difference (unless u have some really fkd up rotors)
it'll be an easy thing to do rather then taking it to a shop and paying them to check it out.

It start shaking when I am braking at high speed 40mph up, and it really start shaking when I am braking and changing lane at the same time at high speed and that scare the crap out of me.
Does it sound like a Bent rim? have new rotor, pads, axle adn tire... rims are 6yrs old and in bad shape.

if you shake while driving, it's most likely a wheel balance issue.

rotors are good. I am going to swap the wheels and see what happen. I really don't feel like wasting money on my car but right now this is the only reason the car is not perfect.
