Looking for brand new OEM quality stuff. I have drilled/slotted R1 Concept Rotors on right now and they warped pretty quickly. Let me know what you got!

Im surprised too. Just got mine put on with posi quiets and im pretty happy so far. Its only been about a week though so this post makes me scared.
i did dozens (and i mean countless dozens) of brake "bedding" on my R1 rotors to try and rid of an annoying squeal to no avail. come to find out the pads i used weren't compatible with the rotors. so i re-installed my oem pads (on the same R1 rotors) and no squeal since. you should be fine.

don't worry about it. op's may just be an isolated incident; may be caliper issues or torque specs or whatever that may have caused his rotors to warp.

It may be my pads - I'm fairly certain they are the stock pads though as my car only has 30k miles right now. Someone told me putting new rotors with stock (used) pads was a bad idea and maybe this was why? How many miles have you put on yours? -Ive only done maybe 5k?
