I have the Rotora and Axxis Ultimates with SS lines and ZERO problems in about 7k miles. Maybe a caliper is getting hung up? I don't remember hearing of ANYONE else warping the Rotoras (besides you).

a lot of this depends on how you drive.

Are you making sure your wheel lug nuts are torqued only to 80 lbs. Last time I had my front tires replaced the asshats at Firestone torqued them to 999,999,999 lbs. I had to stand on the lug wrench to get them off.

Where to turn ?
My advice is try Power Slot Cryo Treated rotors. These are supposed to last much longer than traditional slotted rotors. Mine are still on order so I can't comment on how long they last.

Man I have it horrible...Sometimes when I brake hard the whole care shakes like litterally enough where its hard to control it...and sometimes my steering wheel shakes were its moving left and right like crazyy almost full 45 degree angles...
But I'm still riding on the same rotors until I get my Cross Drilled ones Installed Sooner or Later...

You guys gotta pick up the Powerslot rotors mated up with Axxis Ultimate pads (which dukmahsik has as well). My buddy (ysr72champ) had HORRIBLE warped OEM rotors and after picking up this combo, he's loving the feel and stability of this setup. For a decently inexpensive investment, this one pays off 10 fold per his feedback.

are there any drawbacks to removing the shield?
thanks.

I'm sure the engineers put them there for some reason, but the only one I can think of is to warp the rotors. I do have a big brake kit, but was still getting warped rotors. After I took the shields off, now my rotors are fine.
