Consistently Warped Rotors Driving Me Nuts




I've had an issue with the brakes in my 5KCSTQ for some time.  I go to Audi
(dealer) and have the front rotors replaced on a 6-month (or so) rotation
(for free) due to the fact that they keep warping.

I'm on my 5th set in 2 years.   They always warp, and they warp pretty
fast.  Most people probably wouldn't notice it or care, but I'm anal.  The
warping causes the shimmy when I hit the brakes at higher speeds (50 mph+).

Why does this keep happening?  Is it the caliper? pads?

If none of the above, then should I convert to drilled or slotted rotors?
If so, who makes a good set?  I saw a set at TAP, but they're steep
($2200). then again,  everything is included..

TIA for as many of your thoughts and comments as possible.

Regards,

Richard
