If your rotors were truly warped then you would experience the vibration all the time. They would vibrate when cold and when hot.

I was able to cure a brake judder problem on my Z with 3M Roloc Discs attached to a drill. I used one disc for each surface and gave my rotors a good scrub. Voila! Problem solved.
