Same with pads. Again, I am loving the set up I have on the Monte, it works GREAT!

Yeah, but if they keep warping, I think I'd start complaining and wanting something that doesn't warp.... Hopefully I won't ever have that issue (time will tell).
It can happen, but a rotor actually warping is a rare occurrence. What usually happens is material gets displaced from the brake pad to the rotor surface and creates high spots. This is what causes the pulsing feel in the pedal that is often mistaken as a warped rotor. I'd try a different brand of pads and make sure they are properly broken in and your problem will probably go away.
I've always had to use a dial indicator to detect an asymmetrical condition. I can only imagine how severe the side to side shudder must be trying to drive the car. This is one of those situations where you need to ask yourself if the lifetime warranty is really worth it or not. I'd cut my losses and opt for a brand of higher quality.
It can get pretty bad, i dont drive the Monte much so its not a rush deal i wanna take my time & compare so i dont end up with crap again, if the set i have now warps as bad as the last ill post a pic of it
