Hey, I REALLY enjoy your videos, but there is no such thing as a "warped" rotor.  The pulsation or "judder" is caused by uneven brake pad deposition, caused by typical light braking.  This warped rotor myth has been propagated for decades, but it is indeed just another urban myth.

Here's the straight poop:

Warped rotors are absolutely a real thing. I've dealt with thousands at this point.

That's news to vehicle manufacturers who include instructions in their shop manuals to check for warped rotors with a dial indicator.
