Default Warped Rotors

How can you tell they're warped? Does it make a sound when you stop? Does it vibrate the car?

No, rears. Rear end vibrates like hell on braking. Thought my 10 bolt was shot, further inspection, I've narrowed it down to the brakes. I read these cars have warping issues.

Going to get Brembo blanks and see if they fix it.

Stock rotors do have warping issues.

Now, when you get Brembo blanks, make sure you pad them in correctly otherwise you'll get excessive runout due to uneven pad deposition, which results in an uneven braking surface on the rotors. While uneven pad deposition isn't quite "warping" in itself, it can lead to warping.
