Compressed rotors? I don't know about that!
Anyhow, Yes, I had that too. I replaced them (Fronts) with new ones. Pretty easy to do if you are mechanically inclined. Problem gone after that.
There are several cause for warped rotors, cheap ones, lug nuts too tight, Something else in you drive train front is loose.
Make sure you rule out vibration first. Jack the car and move the wheel assembly front to back (Of car) to make sure you don't have anything else loose.
If you are going to do work on your car, you should get the Helms manual for it. You can find them on ebay or buy directly form helmsinc.com.
