Very untrue. You realize the stock rotors are cast iron right. It takes a crap load of heat to warp them.
What most people feel in rotor shake are deposits, not warpage.
"Warped" rotor replacement is the most over-sold fix that shops do.

I stand corrected i guess lol my rotors have 30k miles on them. 10k from me, 20k from previous owner. I can feel it shaking even all the way down to 0mph and it shakes bad at high speeds. you think its just pad deposits? whenever i warped the rotors on my wrx tracking they did the same thing thats why i figured this was the same. and the butt/feet vs pedal and steering wheel is not untrue
