Can anyone else think of any other reason? At this point I want to sell the Z because I've had this issue for close to 24,000 miles and at this point I'm SICK of this shaking. Any help is appreciated

My guess is the recurrence of the issue is most likely due to poor braking habits. At least, I would start there because it is the cheapest fix. I might even consider some new blank rotors, which are inexpensive.

JAR, I would have to agree. This is the second thread the OP has posted on this issue, and he pretty much got the same advice the first time.

Running around doing some hot driving. Coming up to a red light, holding the brakes on tight. Causing a high spot.
