Replacement Front Rotors Which ones to get?
I bought some el cheapo cross-drilled and slotted ones from Irotors last time and they are once again warped and cracking! I am thinking Powerslots or Eradispeed's... Any suggestions!

The AutoZone rotors are definitely the toughest ones out there for the price. I had them on my 10-second Formula. Just about any replacement rotors will warp however, it really depends on how much you abuse the brakes or not allow them to cool down, or if you do no properly torque the lug nuts. Even the high dollar Eradispeeds still warp on these cars. I've had a ton of different rotors now, and I've just learned to go easier on them, then they last just fine.

I beat the **** out of my brakes, so maybe Autozone will get my business. I do not need anything special. I was just looking for something a little more durable than what I have now. It is just that I have $250 gift certificate from Thunder Racing that I have to use! I was thinking brakes would be good thing to use it on!

I had a slew of warping problems with the factory rotors. I swapped them for Baer Eradispeeds almost two years ago, and haven't had a single problem with them. I'll be buying them for life! That's including my 76 mile daily round trip commute to work, and 5-9 passes a week at the dragstrip from March until October. Zero problems so far...
I'm also a stickler when it comes to lugnut torque. I keep checking mine often, and I feel that is one of the cheapest things you can do to keep your rotors happy. It also doesn't hurt to be gentle on them every once in while too.
