Hi, Wecome aboard.

It may not be relevant in this case, but disc warping is frequently caused by hard braking that heats the disc up to very high temperatures, followed immediately by sitting in traffic for a period with your foot on the footbrake. The discs get very hot with the braking and then cannot cool down evenly because of the pads pressing on one particular area of the disc. Uneven cooling of metal will always tend to cause it to warp.

When driving, if there is any risk that the discs have become hot and you have to remain stationary for a period, then use the handbrake, not the footbrake.

or it could could be your tyres, or you have a build of crap on the discs/pads because you don't brake hard enough often enough.

Try a search on here, there a quite a few threads about this sort of problem.
