Warped Rotors: Safety Compromised? 900

This is regarding warped brake rotors on a '93 944T. I've owned the car about three years, and for the entire duration, I've had warped front rotors. Pads have about 60% remaining. Basically, the only symptom they're causing is the steering wheel wobbles a good deal during normal braking, less so during hard applications. Question is, in an emergency, will my safety be sacrificed, or is this something I can live with for a while until my pads wear down a bit more to save a buck? The PO obviously didn't want to spend the money on rotors, so I got a car with great pads and garbage rotors :/ . I've been contemplating IPD's Zimmerman cross-drilled ones. Anyone have these? Are they worth the extra $$? Should I pull the trigger soon?
