Rotors don't warp. You might have built up brake material on your left rotor. Pull it off and if you have spots where it has a lot of built up/uneven brake material then sand it down.

Uneven pad deposists won't make the car pull. He likely has a stuck caliper. You can get caliper rebuild kits from Girodisc..

You may need a caliper rebuild.
If the piston is actually sticking, you either need a new piston or most likely the seal is bad.
Seals have roll back, which pull the pistons back.

Pistons don't really go "bad". They can however get some corrosion build up, which can be bead blasted, or polished off..

the dust boots harden and can limit piston motion. i replace my boots once a year for track purposes. the issue is if its been like that for awhile, you can score a piston.

Actually they do. When it corrodes and pits, then you bead blast, you are changing the diameter of the piston and the surface finish. These characteristics are designed into the piston and seal interaction, not to mention removing the surface plating
