Warped Rotors... need help

Hey guys my max is starting to shake when i apply brakes from higher speeds. Its clearly my front rotors cuz i had the same prob with my accord. I tend to warp them quickly cuz I have an idiotic habbit to accelerate like crazy and then manage to stop in time all the time. But anyway my question is: Is our rotors bolted on to the hub or bolted and pressed? Cuz i know that with my accord I couldnt replace the rotors myself cuz they were pressed on and i needed a hydralic press to push them out, where with regular bolt on rotors once you loosen the bolts you can just take it off and replace with a new one. SO which one is it? HAs anyone replaced their rotors yet? How difficult is it on the max? Any tips? Should I maybe go with aftermarket brakes something like brembo? What are your suggestions guys?>

Yes, dramatically change your driving habits. Try driving responsibly and safely and your rotors will last much longer.

They are bolted on with the calipers not pressed on

I disagree......

Smash your car into the back of a police cruiser get a beating and call it a day

Thank you.... this gives me hope that I'll be actually able to do this myself on the parking lot.

Where can i get some rotors? Hopefully cheap? Maybe some Brembos?
