that sounds more like warped rotors or maybe even bad alignment :dunno:

Your Rotors are warped. Mine do that. If you have a 4th gen accord it sucks to change them because its a hub over rotor setup.

Yeah I would go for an alignment next. I'm not sure but I think that you should wait till you get the new suspension on though and then get the alignment because I heard that you are supposed to get an alignment done after you do the suspension but then again I am not positive

Default 94 EX "wobbly" steering wheel

You may also want to check your tie-rods, I have a low speed wobble in the steering sometimes a bit more violent than others. I am suspecting one of the tie-rods as when I swing the wheel over to pull out of a parking space I feel the wheel continue to turn even after I stop manipulating it. I need tires soon so I am going to replace those, get an alignment but after that I am thinking suspension, also I am at 147K so its about time to replace some stuff.
