Steering wheel / Rotor problem

Hello everyone:

Sorry in advance for the long post

I have a 99 SC1 with almost 200k. Over the last few years it started warping rotors. I would get a steering wheel shake and I'd change the rotors and it would go away. Well it started happening more often than I think it should. The last set of rotors only lasted around 20K, and when I put new ones on, it only lasted a few 1000 miles before the shake came back. Now it's shaking really bad, but I don't want to just keep replacing them.

What could cause the rotors to warp that fast? It is a problem with the breaks or suspension, or a wheel bearing?

I had a panic stop the other day (a cat tried to commit suicide by running out in front of me) and I noticed that one of my front wheels locked up. Could my breaks be applying too hard on that wheel?
