Why not go for these instead?

They're pretty popular.

I always buy from Sam! Great guy... he even calls to confirm your order!
Im currently running Brembos w/ hawks (Perfect for 85% of the cars out there) Ive even auto crossed on them! Awsome combo for the money.
But, im looking for some cryotreated rotors to help with warping on the turbo camaro... no luck yet. The brembos have been great, but ive noticed they warp a little when highly abused at HIGH speed (+140) but im hoping the cryotreated makes it even stronger. Well see.
I think BSI Brakes went out of business? Their phone number is no longer in service, i emailed them... and no reponse.

It's not uncommon for rotors to shake at very high temperatures. It's not a warp, in that it doesn't actually warp the rotor. Given your statement, when they cool or aren't being pounded on from 140+ they don't shake, right?
The rotor only has so much mass to absorb the heat generated. When the level of heat is generated faster than the rotor can shed it you can get this happening. The answer is either rotors with more heat sink area (read, bigger) and/or brake ducts to more effectively cool the rotor.
Cryotreating rotors is a big bone of contention... Some sweat by it, some found no difference. Considering the amount of heat being put into the rotor and the fact it's not actually warping but flexing due to temperature that can't be expelled, I don't thik that cryotreating will help. It might, and if you want to try I can help....
I have PowerSlot Cryotreated slotted rotors. but I only carry the cryo's for the front since that's the end that takes the pounding. They are $290 for the pair:

Now, you'll notice when you ready the description it says "warp resistant", not warp proof.... Even they won't claim the shake can't happen (because it's pretty common).
The only real way to get rid of this is with serious brakes like a set of Stoptech's like these: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=17&ModelID=7
You'll notice they are not only 13" diameter, but also 1.26" thick, and use a patented vane design (they call Aerorotors) that maximizes air flow though the rotor to keep it cooler.
