Rear rotor warp?

I took a long trip over the long weekend and noticed that with a heavy loaded car and high speed braking that I've got some rotor warping going on. Is is common for the rear OEM rotors to warp or is this problem only associcated with the fronts?

Usually only the fronts.

the front rotors provide most of the braking so they are the ones most likely to warp.

if you warped a rear rotor, i would advise investigating to see if you have a sticky caliper or something that is causing more heat on that rotor.

Thanks. I haven't checked the rotors yet, but definitely felt the fronts startng to wobble under heavy braking. The rears of my Infiniti G20 didn't get much wear bias but I remember reading where the rears of Maximas do get a lot more pad wear. If I could only search! I'll be getting some flavor of Brembos, hopefully I only need fronts.
