As i've come to find out, our particular cars are prone to warping the front rotors. Simple question, is there anyway of fixing this? I bought new rotors about 5-10k miles ago and its coming back already.
Second question, when i put new rotors on i also put new pads on / had to buy a new caliper because the old one was sticking and causing the pads to prematurely wear down. After this and atleast 6 months later i have this INTENSE cracking sound from 15mph and lower. I mean this is really embarrassing, it sounds like someone walking over a thicket of broken sticks to describe it the best. When i did the brake job im thinking i may have let some air in while bleeding the brakes, would this have any relation? or is it something else.
Regardless ill probably get a video and put it up.

video its hard to hear, but read what i said it sounded like and you'll know what to listen for.
