Yes, I am aware that "warped rotors" are typically the result of uneven pad depositing on the rotor surface and that resurfacing or "turning" the rotors can prolong their life. The vibration I was getting was from stock rotors and stock pads, and since they were already at 35K miles, I decided to replace both rotors and pads in the front. I had already decided to go with the Hawk pads because I have used them on a previous car with good results. I ended up getting the EBC USR slotted rotors and swapped out the stock fluid for ATE SuperBlue. I did this all last Tuesday and had the amazing opportunity to drive it on the Circuit of the Americas track this past weekend. The braking performance on my Z was excellent
