Default My new Brembo blanks just warped!!

My brembo blanks have only about 1500miles on it and they warped. All the time it looked ok, but one day I had to stop from 140kmh (95mph). I had to stop hard with ABS working to complete stop. From that day the rotors are warped. But it's warped only when the rotors are hot. When they are cold, no warp is there. I have Textar pads. Any advice? I heard thet Brembo blanks are the best...

Did you do the "bedding in" ritual to begin with? The rotors and pads must be mated to each other. It is not hard to do-just takes time. You now need to have them professionally machined to remove what you are calling a warp-tell the tech you only have issues when they are hot and you are stopping from high speeds.
Buy a set of name brand pads like AEM, Performance Friction or even Honda stock ones and bed them in. The process requires a series of gentle stops from about 40-20-0 in the first series of 3. The second series is the same , 3rd time do it from 50-20-0. The final series from 50-0. All of these sets are done between traffic lights and the sets are spaced a mile or so apart. I did this and it works. The most important thing is that for the first 100 miles be very kind to the pads and rotors.

The "bedding in" ritual.... you are doing 4 sets of 3? and just as you said, 40-20-0, 40-20-0, 50-20-0, 50-0?

Im going to be getting new rotors and pads sometime soon since mine are getting really bad since I do alot more highway driving now, and they shake like never before.
