I've just about had it with Audi brakes.  I had warped rotors. 
Had them cut
but they warped again in a couple of thousand miles.  I broke
down and put new
front brakes and rotors and They have begun to warp again after a
few
thousand miles.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Vince,

Ever since I started to use crossdrilled rotors in all four
corners I hadn't had a single warpage occurrence. Even on the
track. On the 200 I have Italian made Brembos up front and German
made ATE in the back.

I once bought very inexpensive asian rotors from JCWhitney for my
long gone FWD '85 5000s - they warped after the very first
aggressive stop.

Mike Zamikhovsky once bought inexpensive crossdrilled rotors from
some obscured outfit in Canada advertised in the EC and they also
warped very soon. I think that that outfit was using the same
asian-made rotors.

Get Brembos (German or Italian made) or ATE.
