if it's worse after your balance, take it back to that shop and have it re-done. also have them print out your alignment sheet. others have mentioned ball joints and tie rods. while those would indeed cause the shake, it's unlikely that they're that worn yet. a wheel bearing is a possibility. you mention that the shake comes and goes, mostly after the car sits. what type of tires are you using? some tires (Kumho MX) are notorious for flat spotting after they sit for awhile. once you drive for a bit, they round back out. this could be your issue.

Maybe wheel bearings? The bearings on the Boxsters are known to go at about 50k miles, and don't necessarily happen in pairs or all fours.
Either that or headlight fluid - that's often a problem.

Insite,
I have NEW Pilot sport 2 on all four corners. The rears where bought at the store, the front tires were from Ebay- I got a great deal on them. Maybe that is what is causing the trouble.

that COULD be it,
if the tires are unevenly worn, meaning more on the inside than outside, or vice versa.
i knew there had to be something else 
if you have the funds available, get new tires and see if that would get rid of it.
but damn man, such expencive wheels, so y the use tires?

The tires were NEW. Brand new, still had the stickers on them.
But
they were from Spain.
Nothing against the spanish, but they were 100$ each including the shipping.
Maybe they were factory defects. Sometimes I have found out that you get what you pay for.
