Today, I was at the track and while bedding in a set of new pads (before I even had a chance to go out on the track!!) it starts shuddering like a ************. I thought I warped them and swapped them back to the stock ones...which I thankfully had with me. I loved these rotors and the price was great, but should I seek a replacement set or is this common? If this is something common I'm never going to buy them again considering they warped so easily, maybe I had a bad set. So anyways just looking for you guys' experiences and advice.
Sounds like Pad transfer, not warping. Stoptech has a tech paper on this here:

I actually read this before posting, and am fairly certain that is not the problem. The front wheels would not spin freely at all when the car was jacked up, and when accelerating quickly the front end would start to vibrate violently, as I would expect if the rotors were imbalanced...
