Wow! 100K, in my opinion, is phenomenal for front rotors. I think it does help that you've got an SVT with more massive rotors up front.
The rotors on my Tour (front and back) warped at 40K and since the cost of turning them was equal to new rotors, I threw the OEMs in the trash. The new OEM sized Bendix rotors have been great so far, but I've only put 6K miles on them, so I really can't draw any conclusions about their construction.
