My autozone rotors
Just thought id show what my autozone rotors look like, and no, theyre not warped one bit.
and yes in that last one that is purple that you see, they were blue, but changed colors. The only reason im replacing them is becasue of the cracks thats forming. That goes to show that you can get a cheap rotor, and not have to worry about warping em.

I had the exact same problem you're having, I used Hawk HP+ pads on those rotors.
That was until I got a deal on Eradispeed for the fronts which I am still running now with no problems.

But the funny thing is that C-5 rotors which are bigger and better are only $18.40 in Dura-stop. 88925547/88925548 Go figure!!!!

I suggest going to FRRAX.Com and lurk around the Brake section.
One quick note drilled rotors are very prone to cracking in high heat applications (Auto Cross/Road Racing). Most people that race dont use drilled rotors. For the BLING/BLING factor go for it. Anything else go solid.

BTW, Cross-Drilling and Slotting on today's braking systems are pretty much just for looks.
Here is some more info on rotors and pads:
