It happens. I will either turn my stock rotors next time I get tires, or spring for a set of 2-piece with slots and stuff in 'em, cause racecar.

Ummmmm.... that sounds like you felt the ABS engaging. If you did this and then came to a complete stop and held the brake pedal down, then you just deposited a bunch of pad material in one place, making the surface of the rotor uneven (not warped).

Not the ABS. ABS doesn't make your steering wheel vibrate. The steering wheel vibrates now every time I use the brakes. It might be pad material, but I'm pretty sure the rotors are warped. I've done it before in other cars.

I have a warped mind. Just sayin'..... And I don't think aftermarket is feasible.

Gotcha. You just said "wheel" in your previous post, so I didn't realize you were referring to the steering wheel.

I think you likely have uneven pad deposit, but I'm not going to say your rotors aren't warped. However, it takes enough heat and force to warp rotors that I'm not convinced it could be done in the Z on a single braking pass. Unless, of course, your brakes were already nice and hot.

I sure hope so. Although at the speed I was travelling I'm sure the rotors got cherry red. :-)

How does one get rid of pad deposits? Turning the rotors?

Yes, turning the rotors will remove the pad deposits.
