OK about Nov. or so of last year my rotors where seriously warped so I go a new set. Then about two months later I felt them starting to warp again. Now I don't drive overly hard or agressive so I don't get why they go bad so fast. Has anyone run into this problem before. Also I am looking into aftermarket rotors this time instead of going back to OEM. I have a 93 si lude and I can't afford a big brake conversion or a swap to VTEC brakes so I was thinking just some slotted rotors b/c I heard the crossdrilled had a tendancy to crack. Please give some advise here and make sure you tell me if you have had experience with this. Thanks alot...
Peace

I warped a set of PowerSlots. don't feel bad.
its not only your driving that warps rotors. road conditions can warp your rotors as well. your brakes get hot...then you hit a puddle of water...
if you don't want to spend the money on a big brake kit then I would still recommend slotted rotors, good brake pads, and stainless lines. it will cost around $300 for your front sets and the lines. it will be another $175 for the rear sets, but you rarely need to upgrade your rear brakes.

Thanks I'm glad it wasn't something else to do with my brake system. I'll try the slotted rotors and see how they work out. Where did you get yours from?
Thanks
