Lipping can be caused by not having the pad hardness matched to the discs. Warping by the discs over heating due to pad/disc mismatch. On a previous car I found that a lot of after market pads were too hard for the Brembo discs I had on the car and wore them quicker than anticipated. It seems that the manufacturer had opted for soft iron discs with soft pads to give more grip at street level driving. A lot of fancy pads and discs with eye candy appeal and "racing" pretensions are just too hard to give grip at slower speeds and when mismatched either prematurely wear out the discs or the pads.
