Message	was to warp my rotors. I then replaced my pads and lines and rotors with cryogenically treated rotors. This treatment would help prevent warp. I think it also gave the rotors less bite, since there came a point where increased brake pressure seemed to do little. Then I purchased a big brake kit. It provided better modulation and stopping.
