exactly  correct. slow wear over time. 
 
The warping feeling was after a particularly hard mountain run from very cold ( staying at Bright during the snow season).
 
will give it the full once over and check.  I need to also buy a decent gauge to check caliper thickness.
 
Def thinking of going back to stock, I've still got the stock calipers and disks that were on the car.  The wilwood calipers I have are a bit leaky, and haven't had a huge amount of time to suss out the cause, but will def get that sussed tomorrow.
 
and AWESOME on the sizes - thankyou!

"The wilwood calipers I have are a bit leaky,"
Pads contaminated with brake fluid maybe?
In any case the calipers may need a rebuild.
 
If you go back to stock best to put a reco kit thru the old calipers and go to new rotors and be done with it.
My old rotors that I replaced had tiny radial cracks, and the steering used to shake badly under braking.

Yeah it's possible, they are leaking out of the bottom bleed ports that got replaced with block off nuts. need to spend some time looking into this.
 
pads contaiminated.. didn't know they could be, but interesting!
 
The Wilwood calipers I have arent' my favorite style.. I'm possibly considering just buying new calipers :P
