2000 Exc. Lmtd, PSD, 60,000 mi, rotor warp initially occurs between 7,500-10,000 mi, dealer has replaced five full sets. I am not a two footed driver, Rotors don't disipate heat quickly enough!

Same thing happened to me. 
Dealer replaced all of them. When I have to replace them again, I think I will go with the cryongic ones. They actually take the rotars and deep freeze them, makes them tougher than anything and last VERY long.

Larry,
Tell your bonehead dealer to have their "technicians" properly torque the lug nuts to 150-165 ft-lbs of torque. These things are very sensitive to improper torque settings.
I've upgraded to ART rotors for about $600 for a new set of 4 slotted rotors and new pads. Still need to torque the lug nuts equally -- while these rotors are cryogenically frozen, they can still warp...it just takes about 3 times as long for them to warp vs. factory rotors.

Where can I buy these rotors?
I just went to the local place and asked them to order those rotors, but he can't find them to order them. Can you tell me who or where you got yours from?
Added on edit:
I found a place that will sell them.
