There is really no repair for this. Every car I have owned has had warped
rotors. Generally this is caused by overtorqued lugnuts but I always torque
my lugs with a Mac torque wrench whenever the wheels are removed and put
back on...I think it is just a problem with a lot of cars.

Our deliver Windstar van has warped rotors, my new 95 Mustang Gt had warped
rotors after a 1000 miles, my 93 new Escort had them, my second 95 Gt conv
had them, my current honda has them...The Honda's rotors were replaced and
then they warped again...
