I have the SPMotorsports Brembo/KVR setup on my SE and after 1100+ miles have yet to warp 'em. Of course I read the directions. Aside from no panic stops for the first few hundred miles, they also recommend 4 stops from slow speed, like 10-15MPH I believe and then let them cool for an hour. I drove my car around the Subdivision making exactly four stops. (Last one being in the driveway!) I then took a shower and got ready for work. (I put my pads and rotors on at 6AM before running off to work at 8AM )
And for a few more details...

I've had a hankering to beef up my brakes and the SPMotorsports kit seems just the ticket. Problem is (apart from finding money), I've seen more than a few complaints about aftermarket rotor warpage only after a few hundred to a few thousand miles (this just won't do. I'm not in the habit of swapping rotors every month or so). To those who have used x-drilled or slotted rotors on their contours, what are your experiences?
Thanks.
