try jacking up the wheels and turn them steady with your hand. if you have a warped rotor, you may be able to feel it like this if you pay close attention.
EDIT: also pay close attention for any in-and-out movement of the pads.

Ill try this. I really dont think they are warp. Maybe the torque of the wheel could have some effect also. If they where warp both sides would do this I assume not just one rotor. The car as 108K and time to rebuild the front. Tires are fairly new just getting around 7K miles on them. Im gonna clean the rotors real good and redo the wheels this weekend

i may be way off but if you have 4 wheel disc dont ignore your back rotors, didnt read anywhere that said you did all 4 rotors. just my 2 cents :-)

agreed. i got warped rotors on my last f-body twice and both times it was in the rear.
also you mention previously:

that's not nessecarily true. you could have one warped on one side front or rear, or two on the same side.

I know its not the rears. The rears barely work on these Fbodys. Im looking into a way of getting more pressure to the back once I find a bolt to go on the ABS unit.

I know it was the right front for sure. When I went to clean them there was black smear marks on the rotor that come from the brake paint I used I assume. Its getting better tho. Im gonna clean again later in the week and update again.
