Anyone find good aftermatket brake rotors that do not warp quickly? I have went through many sets of rotors and most seem to warp at around 15k to 20k miles. I have always kept a spare set and every time I swap them get the set cut but fewer and fewer places are cutting rotors any more and those that do charge almost as much as new rotors. Anyone found a brand that do not warp so easily?

Or, you can adjust how you drive to keep TV (thickness variation) from happening. No matter what brand rotors you use, you can "warp" them (you're not warping them though, more on that later) if you do the wrong things.
Unless you are racing your car competitively or not correctly torquing your lug nuts, you are not actually warping your rotors, you are either braking in a fashion that causes some pad material to embed in the rotor, not bedding in your brakes when newly installed, or both. Read this link for more insight, since I started following this recommendation back in 2010, I haven't had any warped rotors.

Learn how to drive. If you're warping rotors that fast you are the problem.
Get either OEM (the real deal dealership goods) or Centric premium. Although nothing will help you if you can't be nice to them. The only time I've ever seen either warp is after an obscene number of miles, a hung up caliper or a moron who can't drive and that's putting them on cars of all makes and models that see every level of employment.
I agree dealership or centric. I even had brembos but it's too much for a regular pad and unless carves faster or molded u don't need them
Anyone here try out the Power Stop rotors (#JBR966XPR) from rock auto? I have to do mine soon and I'm leaning towards these.
