Are you guys sure it is really warped rotors? I had over 100k on my factory rotors and pads and I tow a bass boat a lot.
However I do occasionally get a vibration when braking but I can get rid of it by getting my brakes hot by hard braking and accelerating over and over until I feel them fading. Them I stomp them hard. The brakes will smell hot but the vibration stops and the braking is super smooth. I am guessing it is caused by some kind of material transfer onto the rotors.
I almost bought new rotors until someone asked me to try this. It worked... ymmv.

Well, I finally got my Powerstop Z36 brakes installed along a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M&S tires yesterday. So far so good, I'll update when get some miles on the new brakes and tires.

Well, I have had the Powerstop Z36 pads and rotors on my truck for about 350 miles and took a long trip into central Pennsylvania today and went up and down many steep grades. The braking is strong and smooth. No complaints.
