Lightbulb Slightly Warped D/S Rotors, what to do?

I bought the D/S Rotors with Ceramic pads combo from BrakeMotive on eBay last July. I just started noticing some shuddering when I am doing like 60 and need to slow down and no one will turn the damn things! One shop says they will try but it would be $40 bucks and I could have brand new ones for like $70. Anyways is there a way to get a warp out by driving it and doing some hard braking or anything? If anyone has a method please do not hesitate to let me know.

Warped rotor is a warped rotor. The only way to fix it is to either turn them or get new rotors. I've personaly never turned rotors...however the rotors I have now are only a 8 months old and I can get them turned for $15 each so this time around I am going to turn them. I did try new pads to see if it would counter the slight shudder and it didn't.

to machine rotors its $36 for the pair at my garage, but a traditional brake lathe will not be able to cut a DS rotor, you need a garage with a grinder style brake machine and i know they charge more because it is more difficult.
