Pad deposits. Will feel like a warped rotor, but unless you actually measure the run out of the rotor, you will not know it is not a warped rotor.

Need to get the pads up to proper operating temp.

These cars are supposed to be thoroughbreds, and need to be treated as such. Driving them around like grandma driving a Camry is not good for them.

I should point out that improper torque of the wheel bolts CAN warp the rotors. Make sure who ever is putting wheels on and off is torquing the wheels properly with a good torque wrench. Most tire shops just blast the bolts on with an impact gun. Instant warp.
