Hold the wheel straight.

Most "warped rotors" can be attributed to friction pad material transferred unevenly to the surface of the disc. In any case, you should check the disc for any cracks or debris and make sure the hub is set properly. I would also check and make sure the lugs are evenly and properly torqued.

After turning the rotors twice, since they were warped 3 times, I replaced them with OEM rotors and no more issues now with one track day under them.

Re-bedded. Feels good on stops below 75mph, vibes a bit above. I think it's a slight amount of improperly transferred material, likely due to my driving style (twisties, then red-lights sitting there with my foot crammed on the brake so I don't roll into someone). I will live with it until I do tires, then I will probably have the rotors cleaned up, put on a different pad than stock (Stock seems to be known for easy material transfer? What does everyone recommend for a street pad with low dust that will do better? I'm not building a race-car, just looking for a slight upgrade that is more friendly to me in this manner. Is the NISMO pad a good alternative? Like I said, this is just a little daily, not a track monster.) and have the alignment re-done (street alignment specs would be nice if anyone has some, I want a bit more traction up front, the back-end seems to be set up very well.).
One time I did tires on my WS6, paid about $300/tire, and went on a road-trip. You guessed it. I ate a tire due to an alignment that was off. Stupid. I was in college and broke as hell, the tires were a gift, and I didn't pay for an alignment because it didn't pull L/R and I figured it was "good enough". WRONG. That is why I do an alignment every time I replace tires, now. Regardless. |
when i was a service writer i always sold alignments with tires. my pitch (that worked) was "you wouldn't get new glasses without getting your eyes checked first, right? same thing..."

My rotors were also diagnosed as warped. I heard a LOT of G37's had this issue as well |
For street pads I really like the Carbotech 1521/Bobcats. Little/no dust, no squeal, good feel, and seem to last forever.

Better to change your stop light habits after heating up your brakes. Let the pad sit on a fresh spot on the rotor every 20-30 seconds. Just give yourself a couple of extra feet at the light then move forward about a 2 feet every 30 seconds. That'll allow your rotors to cool a little more evenly. |

That out of the way... The dealership turned my front rotors and re-bedded my brakes for me. They said the driver's side rotor had to be turned twice and was the issue. Crazy. Pads wore equally on both sides, they said. I don't know why the driver's side rotor would have shat the bed so badly. |

Why do you live there, if I might ask? You seem to utterly hate it. I hope you're getting paid a ton of money so at least the misery is justified. |
