balance and rotate your tires, get your rotors resurfaced and then you should be good to go!

My car has the same problem currently! 95 Civic DX Coupe. The car shakes off and on, and sometimes are worse than others. I checked it out at the shop and they said my axel, brakes and rotors were fine. Almost everyone recomended an alignment, but i found out that the tires were like... ten years old or something, and there were some bald spots... thus the lumpy ride. thats my car shaking experience so far tho.

A buddy of mine had his car shaking while not giving it gas. at Idle it shook or while driving once set speed was reached. (no load on the motor). He opened the hood and watched the motor shake untill the gas pedal was pressed and it smoothed out.
Turned out to be a thrashed motor mount.
Good luck.
