Carquest blue pads/rotor question
Carquest blue pads/rotor question
So I got sick of my truck shaking because of warped rotors and I went to carquest, where I bought carquest rotors and blue pads exactly one year and 24k miles ago. Rotors and pads both replaced no cost no questions asked. I was very pleased. I get home with the parts, and found the pads to be worn less than the rotors. The Pads had worn 2/32nds and the rotors had worn 4/32nds and warped like crazy. I replaced the pads and the rotors and the shaking stopped as I knew it would. Total time to swap everything out was about 1 hour.
My question is: Is there a better rotor that will not warp so fast? I know that carquest replaced and it took me a whole hour to swap out the set, but I would like something to at least last as long as the pads. I think the pads could last easily 60-70k miles without needing replaced.
I do not stop fast, but I was towing for about 5k of the 24k miles, which may have been part of the problem.

I hate to say it but I've had really good luck with the Autozone duralast rotors in the past. Also a bunch of guys on ls1tech.com put them on their f-body's with nothing bad to say about them and they are cheap. Although the wifes Accord rotors are warped and I'm probably going to try the Carquest rotors since I plan on putting the Carquest pads on and going to buy all the parts at 1 store.
