Default Steering Wheel Shaking

I seem to have some sort of issue with my steering wheel shaking when I brake. Theres no shaking in my brake pedal, only in the wheel... any ideas.? The brakes are relatively new and I havent had any issues with them.

As they said, get new rotors. They're warped. Along with that, get some new pads--naturally.

when it comes to steering wheel shake when breaking. i can think of 3 major problems on accords (i own a '95 LX).

1)rotor warped.....if its not, u can just resurface them!
2)alingment
3)and bad shocks

and depending on ur driving style, u need to consider buying performance parts. once u check off step #1, and yet u dont get a different result, do a alingment which can be a major problem on hondas. bad shocks can also cause shaking on the steering wheel. for performance, a good set of gas shocks can help you out good since they r self adjust depending on driving style.

Theyre deffinetly not warped, they only have 4000km on them and I have barely driven my car at all this year.. yes, they are Bembo's..
Shocks is a good idea, im still on my stock shocks with Eibach sportline springs... Ive been meaning to get new ones regardless so maybe after I change them out, the shaking will dissapear...! that would be sweet because this is rather annoying.

Even though your rotors are brand new, if your wheels were not properly torque'd when you put them back on...

Your rotors could be warped.

Not saying they were or were not torque'd but it's common if they're not.

You also should not be using stock struts with any type of spring kit, they're probably shot because of the springs.

Only do it when you get on the brakes? Sounds like rotors to me. If not it could be one of many things including bad axles.

Nopionline sells cheap Brembo blanks or since your's are almost new maybe try having them turned.
