Default Shaking Problem

I own a 2001 Trans Am and recently under braking my car would shake. I changed the rotors to drilled and slotted, brake pads are replaced and my tires are all spin balanced. A couple of weeks later my steering wheel got a little shakey between 65 and 75 mphs. If anybody would know what the problem is I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.

You know that a balance weight could have come off one of your wheels.

Could be a weight or alignment issue. I have had wheels/tires balanced to a perfect 0, then a week later i would get a vibration only to see that the balancing was off a little. Also and tire out of round can make balanicng a problem. One of the new balancing machines that puts load on the tires can tell if the wheel/tire is out of round.
