Okay, its time for new brakes! help....
So there is a known problem with the brakes of my 2000 TL. So how best do I fix it????
Cheapest: turn disks and get new pads with different material.
Middle: OEM disks with new pads. (problem will come back)
Best: New after market disks and pads.
Which option will for sure fix the problem and what make of parts should I go for???
THANKS IN ADVANCE........LC

The problem will not necessarily come back. Here is a great article on rotors/brakes.

Burning Brakes
I replaced the stock rotors with Brembo blanks (essetially stock, just cheaper). I then replaced the pads with stock pads.
Prior to this, I'd been warping every 15-20K or so. I've not warped since and have put on over 30K.
The two times prior that I warped the dealer had turned the rotors and replaced the pads.
The only thing I did differently when I did it myself was to really bed the pads correctly.
