could be your alignment, tires, rotors, pads.. check them again to make sure theyre still in good/working condition.. i got the shakes last year and it turned out i had to resurface my rotors and get new brake pads

if your car shakes when hitting the brakes 95% it's going to be rotors. it may not be very bad since you have to be going fast. i would suggest new rotors since you already had them machined before. i warped my brembo blanks in like 6 months, just got them machined at honda last week, i hope they last.
