Crazy brake judder after sitting in rain for a two days?

Different rates of oxidation on the rotors, parts covered by your pads got less wet and rusted less then those exposed to the rain. Your rotors should be fine, rebed

So it has gotten much worse even after trying to rebed them twice. Before taking everything apart I checked the lugs with two torque wrenches... those idiots at the dealership torqued them down to 130+ ft lbs. Not sure if it's coincidence or if that could be a factor. Again, these pads/rotors are nearly a year old and never had a single issue until I got it back after inspection.

I'm taking it back in for them to sort out tomorrow. I'll be promptly checking the lugs upon pulling into my garage afterwards.
