If it was shaking when you applied the brakes, it was probably warped rotors. Biggest reason I have found for warped rotors is not torquing the lug nuts to specs.

Torqued straight from the factory means nothing. They could have been badly torqued at the factory, and they should be checked after about 500 miles. Unlikely the calipers. More likely the rotors.

04's and some 05's have bad rotors that warp easily and are replaced as per TSB 05-21-19. I just got mine replaced also.
