OP, did you properly bed your pads before the event?

I assume you believe the rotors are warped because they shudder when you brake? Do they shudder when your brakes are cold?

If you answered yes to the first and no to the second then you have something called "brake judder". Good news, because your rotors are fine. You just need to remove the uneven pad deposits from the rotor. This can be done by machining them or sanding them with garnet sand paper.

If you go the garnet route, you will need to order it over the internet. It is almost impossible to find any non aluminum oxide sandpaper in stores.
