Default Replacing front rotors

I'm replacing the front rotors again. What brand do you recommend? As most of you have probably experienced, I'm replacing because of rotor warpage. Any good rotors with a decent price that won't warp w/in two years?


Tia,
Malcolm

Do you do any heavy towing? If so look for heaver duty style rotors drilled for heat dissipation like powerstop crossdrilled & slotted rotors, I have never used them but were recommended on another thread for wrapped rotors on a 2013...

Hope this helps

Current rotors are crossdrilled and slotted. Im thinking of just going slotted this time. I do light towing...less than 3k. I have ceramics on all 4 corners.

I have had good luck with Power Stop. Have used them on my Volvo wagon, Explorer and now my F-150. There may be better out there but the price/performance is good.

Hawk had a deal going for around $200 on Amazon for front rotors and pads that was talked up a lot on this forum last winter (Hawk Performance HKY659672 Brake Kit) from BuyBrakes. I see it is now $180. don't know if members liked the setup, but can't beat that price. Here is the kit, but somehow I can't paste the URL to show the (much cheaper) price within Amazon on BuyBrakes. Do a search in Amazon for them and it is $180:

I'm gonna have to do some research on this. Didn't realize it was a common issue, especially for the 2013? My fronts aren't too bad but they're definitely warped and I was thinking it seems way too soon since I only bought the truck a year ago with very low kms on it.
