I think you can get remanufactured rotors through Carlsen Audi for about 
half the price of new.  Either way, it's a lot cheaper than $1k-1200 for 
the switch to "normal" rotors that don't work as well.  The warpage 
apparently depends upon your braking practices, and one thing that helps 
avoid it is not sitting with your foot on the brake when the rotors are hot.
