[200q20v] UFO's

Fellow listers:

I've had my 91 200q for approximately 18 months now.  Recently I have
experienced a brief shudder when applying brakes (UFO's) at  higher speeds.
Following the various posts since joining the list, I think I know what's
going on.  I would like to postpone brake replacement as long as possible,
since braking functions well under most circumstances, though if the rotors
are showing signs of warpage I guess its simply a matter of time.  Is this
advisable?  Or am I looking at more serious consequences down the road if I
wait?

Part 2:  what are the advantages to cryo-treating the rotors?  What expense
is involved?

I understand that my rather open-ended question calls for speculation, but
who better to speculate than y'all who have BTDT?  Seriously, any insight or
advice you can offer would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Mark
