warped rotors

i recently replaced my rear rotors and they were badly warped and im assuming that the front rotors are warped also..

my question is, if the rotors are warped will it cause a bumpy ride even when the brakes arent applied?

i had felt a slight bumpiness and i took it to get my tires balanced.. they had told me that one of my wheels wasn't round and i have it fixed at a local wheel place.. i put it back on and i can still feel a slight bumpiness in the ride..

oh yeah, i have an '01 CL-S..

Not that I know of. I think mine are pretty warped and I can only feel it when I apply the brakes, especially at high speeds. I'm just trying to get some $$ together for rotoras and ceramics!!

Are you feeling it all the time or just at higher speeds?

The rotors should only cause shaking when the brakes are applied.

I only feel the shake when braking from 80km/h or higher, when speed is lower than that it doesn't shake.

I really don't want to buy new rotors as the previous owner replaced rotors and pads just last year on all 4 corners (he said he paid over $2000 cdn at the stealership)

I was wondering.... can I get away by just machining the front rotors and installing new pads?
