Default Shaking when I brake????

When I brake my steering wheel shakes. I think I may need to turn my rotors but I also heard that I may need to change the wheel bearings. I didn't have this problem until I did a teg brake conversion. I have a 98 civic dx hatch.

definately warped brake rotors. Get new ones and make sure you torque your lugs down to factory specs in the correct criss cross pattern so it doesn't happen again.

I'd say rotors are warped. mind were warped and shakes alot when I braked normally or really hard. after I replaced the rotors, the problems ended.
