Not to be too obvious, but if you are having problems with the rotors warping, make sure that when you mount the wheels, you torque the nuts down to 65 lbs with a torque wrench. Using an impact wrench is a no-no. (I learned the hard way). Still, the original rotors lasted well over 100K even using the impact wrench. When I got some replacement "OEM grade" rotors from carparts.com (JC WHITENEY), those warped in no time. I then ordered a set of zimmerman rotors from fcpgroton and they are fine. These are standard grade rotors, no drilling, they have drilled rotors, but that may be overkill for what you need.
