Correct me if I'm wrong...but doesn't every single Evo have this problem?

That question is strictly out of order!

Guys look up Disc Thickness Variation. DTV . This is a problem on many vehicles. It is also a problem for vehicles that sit for a long time. We in the braking industry call it lot rot. My EVO has horrible DTV....getting the rotor machined will help.

Imo I would have a garage you trust check your rotor thickness and see if they need turned. I just pulled mine off and three out of the four were warped. Granted I just bought the car so I didn't personally do it but it's something worth a try.
