Your rotors are warped. Replace rotors with new ones. End of story.

Repeat after me: Rotors "warping" is a myth

[/BQUOTE :

Did... not... know... that.

Seriously... I didn't know... I had a truck that the rotors kept "warping" on. Dealer kept telling me it was because I would get the rotors hot and then drive though water. How do you drive through water on a dry road?

What's funny though, is I remember seeing a TV program with someone from either Brembo, or another high performance brake company, and learned the break-in procedure. Every vehicle since then (this had to be around 1998 or so), I have done this to when I replaced pads, and haven't had an issue since.
