Brakes shaking whole car? My car is a 98 Z28, When I brake from anything above 50 mph the entire car shakes, and it gets really bad when you go over 85. I was thinking maybe my pads were worn wierd or maybe I have warped rotors? The car drives as smooth as if its sitting in the driveway, it only shakes when braking. Any suggestions?

Basically the rotors are warped. You need new rotors and pads. While you are there, make sure that the caliper pins are not frozen in place. Also inspect the caliper pistons and all rubber boots. A fluid flush would aslo be a good idea (your there already). When installing the wheels, tighten the lugs in a criss-cross "star" pattern to 100 lb/ft tourque. Improper lug nut tourquing increases the chance of rotor warping.
