Post vibration after stopping

Hi,
I've noticed lately a slight vibration or "shudder" from the rear of the car after coming to a complete stop. It only lasts a second or two. Does anyone here know what this could be? It's a '95 coupe. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Not sure if this is a real question, but it is almost assuredly your spoiler retracting.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's not the spoiler, because it happens even when the car doesn't reach 45 mph (which I believe is the speed at which the spoiler comes up). cheers

Jim,
I'm kind of glad to hear I'm not the only one. Could it be a MY 95 thing? Keep me posted if you get it taken care of. Thanks for the input.

First, manually extend the spoiler and see if it goes away. That should eliminate that theory.

Second, can you find a large empty parking lot, get it up to 10-15 MPH then let it coast to zero without brakes? Wonder if it's not a slight rear rotor out of round. Might believe this if it occurs just before the car stops. If it occurs just AFTER you stop, then I might guess motor/tranny mounts, altho wouldn't expect this to last 2 seconds.
