Warping of OEM Discs
It is very rare to actually warp a rotor. 99% of the time, a "warped" diagnosis is uneven brake pad transfer. Warping may occur with defective disks made wrong in the casting process. There is a good thread on brakes in the Evo 1-9 forum.
Do you have the two piece or one piece rotors in front?

what you are talking about smgevo is called "judder"
I have had constant issues with my Evo...i have been thru 3 sets of rotors and each rotor has been turned atleast 2-3x. Everything in the brake system has been replaced as well, and the issue still comes back every 1500mi. Also i don't race this car or drive it hard. The problem always comes back if i drive on the highway for more then 2-3hrs. And that is with cruise control. So i am pretty sure i have a defect in the hubs or somewhere else in the system. If more people are having this problem they need to highlight this for Mitsu attention.

The one piece set.
I think it is the pads.... could it be something to do with the surface of them?? .... I do go over 30 spped bumps on my way to and from work every day (20 min each way)..... not hard braking... but lots of it!!!!!

Were the calipers replaced?
Yeah i think the rotors aren't the problem either. I think it is something in the suspension or brake system. Some of the lines have been replaced as well as the abs pump, but the problem continues to come back after about 3hrs of driving continuosly. Mitsu has washed their hands and says i am just driving the car to hard...lol. Its my commuter car (11mi to work) and a road trip queen. I have grown incredibly fed up with mitsu and their lack of concern for this, my rotors warp so bad i can't even stop effectively. I had to stop driving my car and pick up a beater truck just so i can travel for my job.

They said that to me !!!! I took them to the back of the car and said to them .... what dows that say ..... "Evolution" and then I pointed to the caliper and said what does that say .... "brembo" ..... so stop taking the pi55 out of me! I got a smile and a nod of the head!
But they'll always say that!!!

Would be good to know mate....... I might be having the same issue as you ! But I only get the squeak when i am not braking! Is that the same?
When i get in the car in the morning everything is okay ...... but about 10-15 min later, when I get on the highway (70mph) i can hear a squeak squeak squeak (3 or 4 per second) sometimes, but not all the time .......it is only faint. If I press the brake, the noise goes away, but comes straight back.
Mitsubishi told me I had damaged the pads and discs by braking too hard.... I just pointed the badge at the back of the car and said "its an Evo" I've not done anything to it that should cause it a problem!!
Anyway, Ralliart said that it was unlikely that I would have damaged the system so the dealer refinished the discs for free but wanted to charge for new pads. Again, Ralliart said that there was no need to change the pads just yet, but I should see how it goes!
Anyway, one day in and it is squeaking again, but not as loud and not nearly as much ..... will see how it goes.... I'd put my money on the pads!

I would never give someone, even from the service department, a chance to play in my Evo. They wanted to physically take my car themselves to a local upholstery shop to get the notorious seat (staple issue) fixed. I said no way, i'll drive and send you the bill.
