Today I machined my warped front rotors without dissasembling (thanx to captive setup) and changed brake pads with brake pad shims/springs.
Steering wheel shaking when breaking stoped and there is no break pedal vibration now.
But now I need to break slowly for some time. Do you know how fast rotors will be polished by pads?

If you machined your rotors with an on car laeve (I can't spell)
After about 3 or 4 HARD breaking applications, it should be fine.
Go from like 30km/h to 0, then 50km/h to 0, 60km/h,... etc
Shouldn't take long. Did you replace your pads too?
