I upgraded about 6 months ago to Duralast Gold 'high carbon' brake rotors using autozone semi-metallic pads and braking seemed much better over regular autozone rotors I had on there (that warped quite easily) and now these better rotors are warped already too!
Car is 1g FWD 5-speed so curb weight is only about 2800 lb and I'm not super hard on these stock brakes either. But I'm on a budget so is there any good options? Will Centric 'high carbon' rotors make any difference over these autozone 'high carbon' rotors? (These + centrics are the same weight which is about 1 lb heavier than stock rotors) Was thinking about trying ceramic pads next time but then read they're more harsh as far as causing warping goes
