Cracked Rotors? Pulled the back tires this weekend and both back rotors were cracked. The passenger side was cracked completely through. These are the stock rotors and I only have 12K on the clock. Also I am the second owner. Anyone else have this happen, and what could cause it? I have a feeling the OE rotors are cheap piles of ****.

Sounds like someone has been doing some burnouts ... or left the E-Brake engaged.

I have done some burnouts at the track, but nothing excessive? Basically I just spin them hard to get a little heat in the DR's, and to clean them off. The e-brake has never been left engaged by me anyways. I can't say if the previouse owner left it on, or did burnouts. However there were no signs of burn out abuse on the car when I purchased it. I will post pictures when I get back from this business trip.

The fronts were warped which I read is pretty common, so they have been replaced. This cured 90% of the slight virbration I was having durning braking. I still had a little at very low speeds, and I could tell after the front swap that it was coming from the back. The only thing I can think of is that they got wet while hot. As I said before there was no evidence of abuse to the car when I purchased it. If it was beat on or did burnouts there would have been at least some pieces of rubber under the car that they did not clean. The rear rotors are being replaced this weekend. I will post pics. once I remove the stock ones.
