How's your brake ??

My wife "warped" our rotors within 20K miles with poor braking habits when it was her DD. I replaced the rotors and pads and have 50K miles on it now

Your best bet is going to be to start over with some new rotors, new pads, proper bedding, and practice good braking habits going forward

A few tips on proper braking habits:
( Click to show/hide )
Come on the brake smooth and firm as needed and disengage similarly smooth. Emergency braking and riding the brake can both heat up the brake system significantly. Pay close attention when the brakes are hot and do what you can to avoid applying the brakes while stopped. When the rotors and pads are really hot and the brakes are applied while stopped, excess pad material is deposited on the rotor in a single spot. This creates a high point on the rotors and is often the culprit for your vibrating or shuddering under braking which is commonly though incorrectly referred to as "warped rotors". The worse it is the more you will notice it and at slower speeds.
