Safe for now...but they will warp more the more you drive it. I would start saving money for new rotors.

cleaning ain't gon do it... you need new rotors...or could be your tires and alignments too...check your tread on your tires...if you need those rotors let me know...i'll tell you who i got it from...

I had the same problem. so, i had the rotors resurfaced, still there. so, i bought some brembos and Axxis pads, still there. so, i had an allignment, still there. so, i replace the tension rods, now its gone. must've been the bushings. thats another thing you might want to check. bad bushings will shake the steering up.
