searching for warped rotors will help you.

Possible shaking problems,,,check in this order from cheapest to more expensive.

1. Warped rotors (cheap enuff to check ,,may cost a bit to replace)
2. Tire balance
3. Tranny mount
4. Driveshaft bushings (VERY often OVERLOOKED,,was the case with my 92 since I
eliminated everything else from list. Have to order mine in the next week or so.
Remember the car IS 18 years old and it is probably worn out.)

If your friend just flipped pads and didn't resurface the rotors them I would say that this is your reason for the shaking.
