Floating rotors
You will never feel warp through the pedal again
The link is only for the big brake upgrade. They sell the same thing in the stock size for around $800 - $900.

Dude, seriously, if your rotors are not thinner than the limit (like 29mm in the front or something) don't bother yet.
I strongly recommend you read this:

I know it's long, but it is worth it. It tells you also how to prevent it.

Unless you are tracking the car (and even then)it is very unlikely that they are warped. It is pad buildup. Get some aftermarket pads and keep the rotors you have. Go drive in a spirited fashion
and it will go away.

I have been beating the crap out of my power slot rotors. After a full season of autocross with a co-driver, there is no significant wear. This is with hawk HPS pads and ~30k miles of street driven miles.

Read the FAQ or How-To's on "Rotor Warping"
Its fixable. The metal in the rotors doesn't actually warp. It is probably your driving habits that causes this. Uneven deposits of pad across the surface of the brake rotor causing that thumping in the pedal/steering wheel.
Check it out, it'll give some good insight.
