Default Brakes

I'm having a problem with my brakes. When I'm going over 50 usually more like 65 or so and hit the brakes faily hard usually the steering wheel shakes quite a bit it. Im thinking it's that the rotors are warped but really not sure. I have extra rotors and pad just need them put on as I can do the pads but don't think I can do rotors on this car. How much should I expect to pay to have them put on? Any thing else I should check while I'm at it? This car eats rotors way quicker than I think it should. Although the last set did last several years.

i think the EX is just like the others in respect to how the rotors and hub are configured (that is hub-over-rotor). it isn't difficult to do! it can be very time consuming, but it isn't difficult. you basically take your knuckle off and undo some bolts, etc... etc... dunno how much they charge. my mechanic friend i know laughed at me and told me that i could use all his tools, but he really really didn't want to do it. i'm guessings its not cheap. you can do the brake conversion where you use the 98 - 99 CL hub, and press in your year accord wheel bearing, and presto! you will then have a rotor-over-hub configuration. this will also allow you to use the bigger prelude VTEC rotors.
