Front brake problem... again

I recently got a full brake job done to my car. The back rotors were replaced, new pads all around, and the front rotors were machined again. That was the second time being machined in 1 year. This was done a couple months ago, maybe 3 or so. When driving home, I noticed that the front drivers side was starting to click again. Does this mean that that rotor is shot? It shouldnt have to be redone again. Thats pissing me off. Should I just buy some new, little better rotors, and swap them out before the old one tear up my new pads? Thanks

get some slotted and crossdrilled or dimpled they perform alot better and they add alot of style ;)

i wouldnt get drilled rotors, just get slotted or dimpled b/c drilled rotors have a tendency to crack and warp easier.

it clicks? sounds like a half shaft, or check your wheel bearing!

Its always fine after the brakes are done though, and then like a few months later, it starts clicking very softely, then gets louder over time.
