I have a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville with 213000 miles. I have had nothing but problems with brake rotor warping. I have replaced them probably 10 times. Usually I drive the car 15000 miles with warped rotors to minimize replacement. Should I switch to slotted and drilled rotors? If yes which ones? I also replaced the original 10 inch rotors with 11 inch rotors.

95% of all rotor warping issues are the cause of aggressive driving and only changing driving habits will eliminate the problem. I would also change the system back to original.
