Front shimmy and shudder when breaking
OKAY, here is the low down: 1990 Accord LX 4dr, 100,213 miles. Babied.
1. I had the rotors replaced about a year ago. Prior to that, the whole front suspension.
2. I purchased new tires 6 months ago. This amplified the shudder. Tires are 205's
3. I replaced the Drive Axles and a CV joint. Shudder diminished, but not completely gone.
4. I just had the front breakpads replaced. Shudder is more pronounced.
Wouldn't they have noticed a warped rotor(s)? Suggestions?

Have you considered having the front Bushings checked, or just out of curiousity do you have a broken stud or missing a lug nut because those two things can cause vibration when braking.
yes they would have noticed worn rotors, and no they are not warped
remember as the change pads/rotors they loosen and tighten different aspects of the front suspension, tighten this here and there
sounds like front wheel bearing, tie-rod end, contorl arm bushings, radius arm bushings, etc.
