I replaced the front factory rotors with StopTech slotted / drilled and they finally warped. Surprised about that since I don't track or race the car. In any event, any suggestions on replacement rotors / pads. Thought drilled rotors would have not warped
Thanks,
Stephen

Drilled rotors aren't worth the trouble. Slotted make since. Drilled rotors do not provide any performance improvement. They can actually reduce performance. They are also prone to cracking. High end race cars use drilled rotors but that is more for weight reduction than anything else.

I use factory rotors, I track my car 12-18 track days per year. I haven't had any issues with warping.

My two cents after looking around, I choose Baer grooved Eradi-Speed two piece rotors all around. Stayed with stock Brembo callipers & pads. Saved a few pounds of rotating mass and they look great.
