Are there rotors that don’t warp?
Brake rotors do not warp from heat, even when driven by the most aggressive traffic officer. Instead, they wear unevenly. This uneven wear is caused by the brake pads themselves as they intermittently touch an out-of-true rotor. You won’t solve a problem caused by wear if you treat it as a problem caused by heat.

These patches cause variation in thickness (run-out) and the vibration under braking.
