Need advice for rotors

I'm on my second set of warped rotors. Does anybody have any advice to remedy this bad situation I'm in? I only have 40k on my 02tls and this rotor problem is the worse. Everyone on this site is pretty good about helping out so I know someone will be able to give me some helpful advice.

Replace the front rotors with Rotora slotted rotors. Check out www.streetbeatcustomes.com. A lot of people also replace their pads with Axxis Ulimates or EBC Greenstuff.

Go aftermarket for sure. I got mine from irotors.com and have put more than 25k miles and they are still holding up well. Make the investment and you won't have to worry about this warp rotor bullshit.

I invested in a torque wrench a while back. Having even pressure on the lug-nuts is
important. Look up setting in manual, not sure if it's 60 or 80 lbs.

It's 80 lbs and yes that is a very good suggestion. I never let a mechanic take a impact wrench to my lugs.
