My last front rotor change was with "OEM German" parts and they take a
beating.  I just ran very *hard* at Summit Point and they didn't warp or
fade!  I think they were ATE brand.
I'd price them all but go with something made in Germany.  Sorry, but
when it comes to machining parts they know what their doing.  Just my
take on experiences.  

Of course you could try the Canadian Super-collider Nuclear
radiated/Liquid Helium treated rotors that was discussed here last year
(or year before).  What they do is expose them to high levels of
plutonium radiation, drop them into liquid helium and then whack'em with
a large magnetic pulse using the Super-collider magnetic fields.  They
*never* warp and *never* wear but the disc pad dust is 'slightly'
radioactive.  If your the type to keep clean wheels this won't be a
problem for the general public.  Just wear an exposure film badge &
disposable plastic suit when handling all wheels, brake parts, cleaning
supplies, etc...  

By the way, this is Ston Rygar's 'secret weapon' for his cars but you
won't hear him speak of it.  His Canadian connection is not well known
(Uncle Gunther) and he won't willingly let his  competetion have this
technology.   Oops....did I just....
