I need to replace my rotors & Brakes & have replaced the stock toyota rotors 3 times in 89,000 miles since they continually warp and have decided to try either slotted, cross drilled, slotted & dimpled rotors any ideas or suggestions on this matter?

I always had good lusk with Brembo, but you can try crossdrilled. How are the calipers? If they drag, it can overheat the rotors. Just a thought.

Rotor warping has been an ongoing problem since it was new. I just had a 90,000 service at a dealership and was told that the rotors were 25.5mm thick and should not be under 26mm thick, so I decided to check into replacing the rotors, maybe I should look at calipers also.

70,000-80,000 calipers usually start to gunk up internally.
