I have tried many different combinations on this car front bkakes in the past. OEM rotors with Ikebono pads, worked great for about a year and a half then rotors warped. Tried After market rotors ( made in China) with Ikebono pads. The rear still has Ikebono pads with the OEM rotors. It was bad from the start. When I applied brakes felt a vibration, like a hummning in my steering wheel. After about 6 months they were warped. Recently I tried resurfacing the same aftermarket rotors with the OEM pads. It felt smooth an OK if you are braking at slow speeds. But if I am doing over 40MPH when applying brakes I feel a vibration worse than the first one. I know these cars have don't design the best brakes in the market for that year, but what can I do or what combination or brand of front rotors or pads I can use to correct this problem once and for all? Thanks for your help!

If they felt warped right away, they may have been! Rotors and other parts do get dropped from time to time. Also make sure the tires are tightened with a torque wrench. By hand.
