not sure about the conincidence thine...maybe check that the lug nuts are tightened?
What's the best place to have my rotors/brakes check aside from the dealer? What company? I live in Walnut, CA. Is the brake masters company good? Thanks guys.
And what's the difference between "turning the rotors" and "resurface the rotors? Is it the same thing?

no difference in "turning" and "resurafacing"
although there are two ways of resurfacing, one being much more expensive than the other
I went to one shop here in Pomona and the guy said I need to replace my rotor because its already too thin, it has 8.36 (left side) on their ruler thing reader, I didnt see the other wheel, so I purchased a new rotor (not sure what brand) and a new set of ceramic pads, they also adjusted and clean the rear brakes. All for $320. Have I been had? Or is this a good deal? Does my old rotor unrepairable? Thanks.

It's only about an 1 to 2 hour job, if you know how to do it, and most of the time you can get 2 new rotors and pads all for under $200. Even if you opted to get drilled and slotted discs, cost would still be a lot less than $320!
im sure most of you know this but for those who dont the 90-93 accord front rotors are pressed on so its not as easy as taking of the wheel and caliper assembly to replace the rotors. you eaither need a special machine or a slide hammer and alot of elbow grease and if you dont know what you are doing dont even attempt it!!
but 320 for one side is tooo much, i had honda do my fronts i brought my own rotors they charged me 220, for labor,
now about the shaking dont let people confuse you, i have had this problem for a long time, its most likey your wheel bearing and/or hub.
can very well be your axels too, on our cars from some reason wen the cv joints go bad they wobble!
just have it checked out because it can be a combination of everything, but if you only did one rotor on one side that was a bad idea, anyone know that if you are doing a rotor job you need to do both sides at the same time, hope this information helps you!
