Things I've found that create a warped rotor ....( no particular order )

1. Washing the car, especially the wheels when the rotors are hot from driving hard.

2. Not properly burnishing in the brake pads after the install.

3. Cheap junk rotors

4. Not properly torquing aluminum wheels.

5. Overheating the brakes and not allowing to properly cool before stopping.

My $.02, feel free to correct me or add your own, this has just been my experience.

Thanks for the reply. But asking for new pad recomendiations. Car is driven easily, not beat on, garage kept. The brakes are full R1 setup. They were burnished in according to their directions. Wheels are torqued to spec (I use alldata at my shop so I have all specs) New torque to yield caliper bolts (33ft lbs and 90 degress)....... So install is 100% correct !
