I've unwarped the UFOs with half a dozen heavy stops from about 80 mph
followed by travel without using the brakes for several miles so they can
cool down.   I doubt the pad material plays a part in warpage.  It's
sitting at a light after the brakes are hot with the pads held against the
rotors in one spot.
