I'd rather pay the money for better rotors that won't warp than keep having to turn the rotors and keep replacing them. Any help will be appreciated.
How often do you have to turn them? GM OEM rotors should be fine for normal driving. About the only way they could get hot enough in normal driving to warp is if you have a stuck caliper or you're riding the brakes. I'd have say get your foot off the brake pedal, make the mental effort to keep your left foot on the floorboard and away from the pedal until you need to brake. My dad has the same problem.
