Default Please help pad issue

so i got some axxis deluxe plus pads put on about a thousand miles ago. ever since the install the pads have squealed when they are cold. i noticed that my rotors were looking funny. it turns out that they were pretty warped so i went to a shop today and they said they needed to be machined. I did this and am now wondering what i can do to keep this from happening again. Do i just drive too hard for stock rotors? I break pretty aggresivly but nothing insane and its not like consistent hard breaking. why are these pads killing my rotors so fast? what can i do to stop it? thanks in advance for the help. what should i do???

Did you bed the pads in when you first put them on? If not, an agressive pad can kill a set of rotors fairly quickly.

Getting your brakes machined may have been a mistake. It just sounds like your pads weren't properly bed-in.

i did bed them in as suggested from someone on here. however by the time i did that ( i followed the stoptech suggestions) some of the warp was already visible. does it make a difference that i didnt bed them in right away? since i have already done that do you think the rotors will become warped again still?
