vtec engine to be more specific.
I have had the rotors and brakes and wheel bearings replaced 3 times because it keeps shaking the steering wheel and front end when applying the brakes at higher speeds. Now they are saying that axle boot needs to be replaced. other person says that would not cause what i described above. Anybody have any advice??? I am tired of paying for rotors and brakes in 6 month time frame. Thank you

Not the boots or CV. One answer could be your driving habits, but that is yours to deal with. I would have them look at whether there is a better design on the rotor. It heats up and warps. That is the problem. Check with Honda to see if there might be a design change that has not reached the third party manufacturers of the rotor. Honda may have a new rotor that holds up better.
