Yeah, it's a common thing with these cars. I've got the same problem. Mine managed to warp without any kind of heavy use, with less than 10k on the car.
I need to find some good replacements that won't warp. I don't want drilled and sloted "look good" rotors. I heard of someone who took stockers and cryo treated them and had good results, but I'd like to hear it first hand before I depend on it.

Maybe warped, maybe not.
First do an inspection. Check for damage and the condition of your brakes all around. Check your pads, check you rotors.
Check for corrosion between your wheels and rotors. Rust will grow and make enough of a difference to act like warped rotors. Get a wire brush and give everything a good scrub. It would be good to check behind the rotors as well.
Then again, rotors are so cheap as to be a no-brainer if you have the cash. You don't need to go expensive when you replace them, good parts store replacements will work well.
Good luck!

Try a couple easy stops. When you come up to a stop slowly and the car kind of lopes a little, not nice and smooth, you willl know that the rotors are warped. Very common, that's why people up grade brake systems. I haven't done mine but will.

i agree with everyone up top and another thing to watch out for so this doesn't happen soon after is, especially if your doing them, DONT OVER TORQUE THE WHEELS. haha, but seriously

check ur bearings make sure there is no play what so ever. if good, then I would look at rotor warp and how much brake pad left? does rotor have mirror and/or purple like spots? that is a sign of warp rotors and/or bad brake pads. check boltpins as well. u might need to remove boltpins, re-grease install and drive for test if same bolt pins are good. when applying brakes does it vibrate and car veers off to the left or right? either rotors warped or bad bearings. hope this helps.
