    Really ask yourself how aggresive you drive. So many people say they drive like a grandpa when they actually drive like grandpa on crack. Lol

    If you truly do not brake excessively look at the brakes or have someone look at them and see if they are corroded or the brake pad is not seated properly.

    If there is something wrong, simply replacing all pads and rotors won't fix it. It will just pop up again in a few thousand miles.

    Pads and rotors should be replaced as a set. Better quality pads won't cause the same issue as often. Mine did the same thing around 20k miles. Put entirely different pads and rotors on. Drive the same and no repeated issues at 70k miles.

    Why are you still insistent on turning your rotors? Try the brake bedding procedure I linked to (follow it exactly as it is written) and then report back.

    They are not warped, the pads are fine, the rotors are fine. The problem is the way you drive, the pad material is irregularly coated to the rotor. Do the brake bedding procedure as linked by 2015WhiteOR and you will be OK.
