Cause I just tested the $hit out of them and we will see if they warp. I was braking to the point of brake fade and wonder if these rotors will hold up or not.

I've had them on for 8 months now, no problems yet.

as long as they broken in properly, lugs are torqued to 72-87 ft-lbs.. you shouldn't run into any problems. Granted no rotor is bullet-proof to warping

I finally found out why they are warping. I am a mechanic. I like to take a break from working on cars, especially when im getting wheels and tires put on my car. I finally found out when i bent a rim, that my lugs were at like 150+ ft. lbs. each! I was a little ****ed. So, in other words, i couldn't figure out why my rotors were warping until that day. Now i just do it myself and tourque everything the way its supposed to be. And low and behold, no warping.

Another reason most people warp is the temperature change. Hot brakes,---> cold puddle = warping.
