I still stand behind my theory on CLs and TLs having a huge issure with warping rotors so fast. My theory is that there was a super minor design flaw in the knuckles. The hub and the calipers dont line up 100% straight. There is a super fine angle difference, which causes the rotor sit at a very slight angle against the caliper.
