thank you
ya a lot of people still are under the belief that rotors warp. i understand that it's simply pad deposits but either way it's fixed the same way. i just don't want to go through the hassle of going to a shop if i can help it.

Check out this article. Using aggressive pads may possibly clean the pad material off of your rotors...but it may not. It's worth a shot though before spending money.

They do warp. Stick a dial indicator on a rotor and see. If you have enough meat on the rotor, you can cut it. If not, you will have to replace it.
