I doubt it's heat related, since you're saying it happened after a single stop. Have YOU gotten under the car and looked around? Are the rotors visibly damaged? Are the pads evenly worn? Is everything torqued down? Something's off in your front end. Lastly, this is a stupid question and I'm not trying to be insulting, but you're not holding the brake pedal down when you're stopped, right?

The rotors look ok to the eye. OEM pads looked glazed after 500 miles after being shaved, have not seen stoptech pads. I typically rock the car on inclines or let it creep on declines, even though I doubt I get it hot enough to matter, its habit. They have replaced so much **** they would have caught poor tq values by now or fixed it inadvertently. This is admittedly my first set of slotted rotors. Could it be that slight front end vibration and steering wheel shimmy/vibrarion under braking is normal with them?
