warrantly wouldnt cover it im guessing as its a wear and tear material.

On the note of rotors i get a squeek from drivers side tire i believe when car has had a good long run 30-45 mins and especially during hot days.

it comes and goes, mainly when the car is moving, not specifically when i brake or anything.

Could this be rotor related as well ?

If its the rotors should it be noticible under normal driving conditions (I can't notice it)?

Also what will happen if I dont change the rotors and they are slightly warped? Just cracked pads or worse?

if you feel a shuddering when you come to a stop , whether it be from 100km or 40km you feel a slight jolt (back to front) then its rotors definately.
even slightly warped rotors can cause internal vibrations and nuts to fall off the wheel. maybe take it in for check up b4 midvale. sometimes its a simple re-skim of the rotors and back on again maybe consider dba 5000's ? group buy,interested? pm me

Its not under brakes, generally when accellerating hard over 100km and I cant feel it through the steering wheel.

if its normal wear and tear, it won't be covered by warranty, but if the rotor is warped for no reason, i think its covered by warranty as my dad's honda had the rotors machined a few times and recently replaced 2 new front rotors, all under warranty.
