Default 2000 accord shakes when braking

I have a 2000 accord v6 that shakes when you aplly the brakes. I had the rotors turned at 59,000 and it did no good. So i got all the wheels rotated and balanced and its still there.
No brake warning lights on.

Did they turn the rotors on the car?

I would still put my money on it being your rotors. Get new ones and itll work.

Yeah, Hondas like that on the car rotor turn. I've had to comp. new rotors twice because an old school tech did them on the lathe. On the car gives a much better turn, on a Honda anyway.

Do you happen to have ceramic brake pads? my dad's camaro started to shake at higher speeds when he hit the brake when he got the pads. we are told that its because the dust from the pads clogs pores in the rotor. it doesnt affect the stopping distance or anything like that, its only a little disconcerting at first.

That would be my next guess. Check the pads.

Are you tires out of balance?

Sounds like deposits on the rotors from driving really hard. There was a really good thread that was on here a year or two ago about this. BRB if I can find it.
[Edit] Could not find the thread
