If you are replacing rotors due to warpage. The most common cause of warped rotors is the wheels being put on with an impact wrench by mechanics and tire changers.

Whenever I get tires or I know the mechanic has removed the wheels, I'll take along my torque wrench, drive the car down the block, stop and torque the wheels. I've given up fighting with them, save your breath.

If the wheels are not torqued properly and you heat the rotors up on a long drive they can warp in no time flat.
