Inspect your brakes.
You probably need to replace your brake pads.

Here she is...all stock ha!
Sorry it took a while.. So I got my front brakes changed and no more squeeks!
BUT there are times where it shakes? (usually when i come To a stop) I've searched and many different things can cause that to happen..hmmm.

Really nice looking car.

Do you feel a pulsing in the brake pedal along with the shaking? Did you get the rotors changed too?

No pulsing in the brake pedal, the car just shakes side to side..seems like its dying or something.
I just got the front rotors resurfaced.
Thanks
