Front Brake Rotors
I know i've seen it on forum before, i just wanted some fresh advice, thanks in advace for all your info.
Got 99 F450 got the wobble in front end when braking to a stop. Rotors are warped and can't be turned??
I saw on forum what kind and where to buy front and or rear rotors that will not warp like the factory rotors will.
What kind and where to buy rotors and brake pads that won't warp in future?
THANKS AGAIN for your input.

I ended up getting Frozen Rotors (Diversified Cryogenics) and they have worked great so far. Still have the crosshatching visible, did the brakes in May. I got new front calipers, front and rear rotors, front and rear pads, and the total bill was <$1,000. My only complaint... an occasional squeek (normal), and a bit more dusting that I would have liked, but they are commercial pads and bit harder the hotter it gets...haven't faded them out... As said above, bed the pads in properly when you get new ones, and if you stop hard from a high speed, roll a little bit if you can, don't let the pads stop on the rotor, glide to a stop. Warped rotors actually arent the metal warped but rather inconsistent material transfer (pads) when the temps get too high. This leaves 'spots' of pad material on the rotor making the overall thickness inconsistent, leading to shuddering when braking.
