pulsating brakes

Paige, I have been told by serveral technicians NOT to get the rotors resurfaced if they are warped and to buy new ones. They say while the resurfacing them fixes the problem temporarily it also take metal off the rotor leaving less metal to displace heat making them more prone to warp.

I was also told by several techs NOT to buy the lifetime warranty brakes at midas as they cause accellerated rotor warp beacuse the material they are made out of does not displace heat and is hard on the rotors. What good are lifetime warranty brakes if you have to replace the rotors every 20K?
