Brake Rotors

I going to have to replace my front brake rotors soon. I was wondring what is the best brand of brake rotors. The rotors sold at the local autozone are a joke, they warp way too easy and you can see small hairline cracks in them. I was also planing to send the new rotors off to be crtogenical frozen, and was wondering if anyone else had done this on their explorer. Since i am planing to have the rotors frozen I want to start with a good quality set of rotors.

i get mine from napa auto parts they cost a little more than auto zone. however i have never had a problem with napa parts at all. i recomend before getting them frozen to spend a couple of dollars and have them take a skimmer off to make sure they are true. i always do this when replacing rotors or drums. you will be suprised how many come from manufacture that are not true.

Who made the stock rotors for the 93 explorer? I might try to use them since they held up a lot longer than the replacements, plus they didnt warp.
