well of course I don't live near the autobahn but I did go there . it's a 30 min drive safety first

update :

drove the car last night and did bedding procedure . Looks like the pad transfer is almost completely gone . very little signs of what was there before . heated them up pretty good and let them cool

I also did torque to right specs ..thanks for your Input because I do hear stories of that being the reason for most warped rotors .

Ya, many of them have a bedding compound on the pads too. If that has already been worn away, you might have issues getting them to bed properly as well.

I forgot to ask but did you torque the lugnuts down with a torque wrench set to 80-85ft/lbs? With floating rotors this is one of the most common mistakes that can cause you to warp a rotor.
