Take an hour or two to read this very informative post: BRAKE FAQ. It may clear things up why we use the word 'warped' and 'wobbly' upon describing problems in relation to brakes. I have the same problem and it's because of an air bubble in the lines but it's not bothersome, anyway, this is a good read.

To the OP...I live close...have a set of Hawk HPS pads I can sell you cheap( new in box). If the rotors are OK...I can help you slap in the pads...lube things up and you can buy me lunch or something. Otherwise I can help you get parts etc at decent prices. Only problem is that I am gone for a couple of weeks....
PM'ed!

Thanks for the FAQ. It was very useful! I did some high speed braking and it seems to have fixed my "warped rotor" problem.
