Here is my questions to experts out there.

I drive about 90 total miles a day, in traffic (2000 miles/month).

The car currently has 90,000 miles on it, and the factory rotors
lasted until 80,000 miles or so until it warped.

I have burn through 3 sets of rotors, each set warp within 3 months or
so. I am buying the PREMIUM after market rotors from Autozone (by the
way, I only bought the first set of rotors, all exhanged rotors were
free, but the labor is a pain in the you know what). The rotors that
are thicker, heavier ones, not the cheaper, thinner ones.

I tighten all the bolts with a torque wrench, so no one can accuse me
of impacting the bolts and warpping it that way.

My theory - the hub got warped the first time, therefore, bending all
subsequent rotor rather quickly.

Any expert opinions and SOLUTIONS out there???

Did you have them turned when new? If so, then you may have other
suspension problems like worn bearings or joints, causing the warping.
