The front brake rotors (OEM) on my 1998 Q is warping every 10k-15k miles. Any suggestions as to replacement rotors and pads with longer life and where can I purchase them?

How much less braking capacity are you willing to put up with for longer life....how many feet longer stops? The 98 pads seem to last around 30k.....pretty good life.

10-15k is great compared to the 90-96Q which started to warp rotors by and every 6,000 miles.

Vented [drilled] rotors won't help much more than 10-15-20%, with them you lose the ability to have the rotors trued on the car.
