Warped rotors?

Warped rotors?
Think I might have slightly warped rotors. The car has a slight "lunging" stop, where it seems to grab more as at certain spots as the car slows down. Is rotor warping just a problem these cars have had on the front, or both front and rear. Also, what's been a popular replacement, performance wise, for the rotors and possibly pads?

Sorry, didn't do a search before this post. Now that I've read up it sounds like I should just go with a set of Brembo OEM blanks and a good set of pads, maybe Hawke HPS. Does this sound right, anything else?

Brembo OEM blanks and Hawk HPS pads are a good combination. I have them on my car. I got them from TireRack for $374 shipped.
If you are talking about the Wholesale Direct GP, then those are drilled/slotted. Those are not the Brembo OEM Blanks. From my understanding, Wholesale Direct buys Brembo Blanks and drills/slots them.
Here is some good reading on brakes:

Wholesale direct may have cleaned up their act, but i read a thread about their bad customer service and long shipping delays. I got brembo OEM blanks sitting in my room from Tirerack right now. think it was around 341 with tax and shipping for all four rotors. the pads are another 60-80 for ceramic, getting mine from autozone

So I'll probably order the Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS. Do I need these all around the car, or just the front. And where can I find the best price? I'll probably order for all four corners so that the braking is consistent.
