Brakes Pulsing, Again. At a Loss 900 1993

Do you drive in bumper to bumper traffic a lot? I commute to downtown L.A. every day and I'm on the brakes more than the gas. Both my 764T and the 965 warp rotors within 1K miles. I've tried everything and have finally given up. The only thing I can deduce is that the brakes just get too hot from riding the brakes in traffic without having any air blowing past them. I've got cross-drilled rotors on the 965 and it seemed to help a little bit, i.e. they didn't warp as bad as they usually do. Wheel nut torque, break-in procedures, and cleaning up the hub are all good suggestions. However, you might just find that your particular driving style and/or commute just is not conducive to keeping the rotors true.

Btw: this is not a Volvo-only problem. I've experienced rotor warpage in plenty of bimmers, benzes, Hondas, etc. that spend a lot of time in slow-moving traffic.
