Not only proper torque but in a proper sequence is very important also. Snug all bolts down, then bring them up to proper torque in a cross pattern, going across from the last one tightened. Do not start at one and work your way around to the next one till you complete a circle as this will still warp the rotor as much as improper torque. Like the man said besides torque, HEAT is what warps them. Even though you drive primarily highway miles do you plan your stops and some times do your slow down for the off ramp in stages or wait till you are almost at the end and hit the brakes hard. A good way to avoid overheating is to take a chunk of speed off in one shot, let up and let it cool a little then finish your stop or do it in stages if you can. A good tequneque I learned driving for 30 years in the Colorado mountains.
