   Discs will warp if you drive them too hard once they are fitted when new, they need to bed in for a fair few miles

   put them on them if you have a miometer use that set up to see if they are warped, if you aint got on just rig something up that will be near the disc then turn the hub to see if it goes in or out on the fixed point

   I've warped brake disks a few times, every time it was due to using poor quality disks.
   You shouldn't have problems with brembos, just bed your pads in as normal.
