Car stutters braking at high speeds

Wait so my steering wheel shakes. so my front rotors are warped!? Why though? I dont see a reason for it to be warped. its been cold as balls.

It's pad deposits from holding the brake at red lights most likely.

i would personally get a scotch bright bad and rubbing alcohol or a rotor hone and clean your rotors to see if that fixes it. also, you can still warp your rotors when its cold. i think i warped mine from braking hard at 120 because I thought a broken down charger was an unmarked police car. i know you're never supposed to brake heavily at those speeds but it was just my reaction. ever since then my rotors shake a little and its been months. although they are 14 inch iron cast rotors i still feel that there is a chanced that i warped them after some mess ups lol
