Still have a shaking problem I had my tires spin balanced and rotated, my brakes pads are new, I have brand new drilled and slotted rotors. The front end was aligned a day or two ago and for some reason my 01 TA still shakes under braking and acceleration. I have no clue what the hell this could possibly be.

It sounds like something is loose in the suspension or steering. I guess it could also be the driveshaft, as has been said, but not as likely.
Get it up in the air. If all you've got is jackstands, put the front end up first, since that's the most likely problem area. Try to pull out on the top and bottom of each wheel, as well as move it side to side (steering motion). Also try to move the wheel up and down. Watch the suspension components and steering rack/tie-rods for movement. Movement that leads to vibration is usually pretty obvious.
