I'd say that 95% of the people who say that they "warped rotors" at the track haven't actually warped there rotors and are actually seeing uneven pad material build up on the rotors.
So how exactly do we find a compatible material?

For instance, I went from OEM to Carbotechs (bedded-in with 5-6 stops from 100mph) and still got significant judder at the track. It's possible other factors played in but it would be nice to find out exactly what aftermarket pad compounds are compatible with the OEM's...
