needed advice about stock brakes??

i have about 25000 miles on my evo 8. i had my rotors turned about 3000 miles ago d/t excissive warping of my rotors both front and back. it took away the vibration in the steering wheel temporarily but is already back again and stronger than ever. i dont want to spend a fortune on new brake components, but dont want to resurface rotors again as it obviously didnt help out from the last time it was done. i have done some research and have only come to the conclusion about proper bedding techniques w/ new equipment. any suggestions?? thanks.

pads i dont mind but rotors are expensive. i ddnt think the rotors would need to be changed already at only 25k. anyone?

Try bedding in your pads again and see if it goes away. Another thing is not to leave your foot in the brake pedal when the rotors are hot, this will cause damage also.

Good luck...
