Getting the Wheeling Fever

Most of what I read in the forum is that OEM brake pads and rotors are the best option when they need replacing. This strikes me as odd because, I've replaced several sets of OEM rotors that were warped prematurely. They seem to warp very quickly. In one instance, I had to replace them 1 month after the $tealer put new ones on. It's time for me to replace the brakes and rotors again and I'm hoping that there are better rotors out there. Is there?

I just put new Brembo rotors on my 4Runner recently after lots of research on wire and yotatech. You can buy them for $59 each at the Tirerack:

And I stuck with Toyota pads as my originals lasted a long time and never dusted my wheels. It is so nice not having vibrations during stops...
