i'm not sure about the 3G's but some names are Rotora, Brembo, Racingbrake, etc. I'm sure you will get a more helpful answer when everyone else gets home from work.

Rotor warping is most often a result of improper torque and over torque of the wheels lugs.
Any rotor can be trashed with a bad install
Commonly confused with pad debris buildup from light braking or extended use in traffic.

For good quality rotors a really good price I would use the NAPA auto parts American made ones. Not the cheaper chinese made ones. Napa offers AAA discount too!

For pads I always say Hawk HPS- they really stop good in all conditions and still low noise low dust

I have an auto and I replaced my pads and rotors for that same reason. I purchased a set of bremo rotors and PBR organic pads and haven't had the rotors warp again. Its been about 40K since I did them. With the OE equipment they would warp at about 17K

PS I purchased Brembo rotors that would fit the auto TL.
