Agreed, that and factory rotors are simply the cheapest
lightest things they can put on there.
Here is another bit of advice on turning rotors.
You simply can not turn the warp out of a rotor, period.
Turning is only for when the rotor has suffered
a gouge large enough to cause problems or to remove
the edge some pads leave on the face before setting a
new pair on. Sure, a warped rotor can be turned flat
again, but the next time it gets hot the warp will come
right back.
I'm amazed how many times folks at work have not listened
and had Midas turn the brakes. Every time the warp comes
back and every time Midas refuses to stand behind the claim.
It's nothing more than a money maker for them.

Re: WJ brake rotors - ongoing yearly replacement problem
