there is no visual evidence you can see with the naked eye when a rotor is warped. only way you can see something visual is hook up a dial indicator and measure for runout.
theres a about a 99.9% chance that if your pulsating/vibrating when you applied the brakes, your rotors are warped. warped rotors is about as common as an oil change on f-bodies.
if your also getting a vibration while driving highway speeds than you may also have a bad tire or a tire that may simply be out of balance.
when replaceing rotors, stay away from the cheapies cause your gnna run intot he same concern after a short time.
hope this helps...goodluck.

I had the same thing on my 2001 last year. High speeds stops were murder. I almost bought new rotors. I removed the tires and checked the brakes. Everything looked OK. I torqued the lug nuts to 100 lbs and have not had a problem since. I always make sure all wheels are torqued to 100 lbs especially after having them rotated or balanced. Most places say they torque them but do not do a good job of it.
