eradispeed 2 piece rotors i was reading on the eradispeed+ 2 piece rotors. are they any good? they are like 800 bucks but have a limited lifetime warranty against warping, the powerslots i have now suck and they warped and i broke them in right. so there goes 240 for that set and another 240 for new ones so i figure spend 650 on ones i have problems with or spend anotyher 150 on these. any suggestions?

Brembo OEM. My race pads destroy them, but they never warp (even several millimeters thinner than spec). Guys have warped eradispeeds (and I'm sure there are a few sets of warped Brembos around as well). If you get enough guys beating on parts, somebody will break, bend, or destroy some of them.
Just remember not to park the car with the brakes real hot. Try not to slide into the driveway and park it, take it easy for a mile or two before you arrive. Try to cool things off a little first. This advice seems to have cured my problems with warped rotors on my 3rd gen F-body (I'd warp a set every 3,500 miles). After I learned to cool the brakes before parking the car, I quit having problems. This is not a cure all, just something that may help everyone out. They really are a product of how you treat them (brakes and pad and rotor life).
My thoughts.

I would (and do) buy Brembo OEM rotors. If you are looking to stop your car and want an item that performs as intended (sorry, you'll not get the "bling" factor), then you can't beat them. I, personally, can't see spending $800 on rotors. Rotors are still a "wear item" (my race pads make them an "extreme wear item" and I change rotors with pads...they all wear out together....would make for an expensive brake job with the Eradispeeds) and eventually will wear and need replaced. If you use an aggressive pad (that can greatly increase brake performance and rotor wear) to see increased performance, you'll wear out those pretty (and expensive) rotors. We've covered (long ago, in a previous post) the fact that rotors fall within a "10%" performance window, meaning, they all work pretty much the exact same way. Pads however, are a different story. A set of performance pads will give you "brakes like never before" and as long as the rotors don't warp, they are doing their job.
I guess, in a nutshell, I'd put my Brembo OEM rotors and my pads up against Baer's "miracle rotors" and a set of pads that won't chew them up any day (and I'll win). Pads help brake performance.
