Front end shakes while braking

When I brake while getting off the freeway, the front end of my car shakes like crazy. Read up on it and it's probably warped rotors (pls correct me if I'm wrong or if you have any other ideas as to what could cause the shaking). I had the pads changed roughly 3000 miles ago so if I had to change the rotors, would I still need to change the pads? I figure I can keep them since they're so new. Also, should I change the rear rotors too so that all 4 rotors are new? Thanks in advance for any and all comments/suggestions.

BTW...I have a 98 Accord EX V6.

You can get away with not changing the pads, but you should get your rotors resurfaced, or replaced..

No - you don't need to replace or resurface the rear rotors just because the front end is shaking.
