I'm experiencing the same issue... but on a much older car with much higher mileage.

Due to small ridges in one of my front rotors that's missing from the other three rotors, which are brand new (400 miles on them), I am replacing the rotor.

However, a warped rotor is the fruit on my tree, not the root of the problem. Something warped that perfectly new and straight rotor.

I'm also rebuilding my calipers up front with new piston seals and dust boots in case a stuck piston is the root of the problem.

A worn bearing can be a root cause as well, but at 11k, the worn suspension parts and wheel bearings should not be your root issue. They're nearly new.

If I were you, I'd have the calipers inspected thoroughly before putting new rotors up front. No sense in throwing good money time and time again into the car.

There should only be one village idiot on this board dumping too much unnecessary cash into his aging boxster and I own that title, thank you very much!
