Well, fortunately, they have a reputation for being really good rotors, too.
And I've owned nearly 27 cars (at last count) in my 24 years of driving, and I've never had any of them warp rotors in less than about 15,000 miles. This car goes through rotors in about 20,000 miles or so, which is 1 year. If I can keep the cost down, it's a good thing.

My GXP still has stock rotors and pads lol. It has about 53000 miles on it, but by the end of the year I'm getting new brakes. Rotors are not warped, but the holes are clogged and it's making a squeaking sound when i go at rather low speeds 
. I am def going to get ceramic pads tho cause the front tires get COVERED in dust...
Speaking of tires, I'm still running stockers too lol. But I'm getting brakes and tires done the same day (October??).

We got the ebay rotors cut about a month ago, so we haven't picked out the new ones yet. On top of that, I talked to two different Napa's and they claimed that their rotors are not lifetime, despite what the website says.
Looks like I'm back at square one on new ones.

I did get a recommendation for DiscItalia. They're pricey, but supposedly very warp-resistant.
Oh, and glad you like the sig pic...Thanks!

I know Mike and I needed brakes at the same time so I thought I would report on what I did. Had my front rotors turned and new Delco pads loaded in there (looking to sell the car soon) and I'd say I regained about 50% of the braking power I had lost. I'm not really happy with how they perform after a cut and some new pads, but we will see how they do after a bit of time.
