Common Myth!!
Perpetuated by cheap, casted rotors. Buy off-brand/questionable rotors, and they will warp, crack etc.... Now, is it possible to warp and crack units that cost almost 10K.... you betcha. BUT, unless your name is on the SCCA, ALMS, or NASA pro-tour drivers list, the only way to warp, crack, or otherwise damage a rotor is almost impossible. The only feasible scenario would be driving through a puddle after a "LLLOOOONNNG" downhill canyon run. The thermal shock "could" warp of even crack your rotor regardless of slots, or X-drills, regardless of cost or quality. If you're warping/cracking your rotors from driving/autocrossing/tracking, buy some better rotors, and/or research the pad/rotor compatibility. A pad that generates and operates in temps of 800-1000 degrees, for obvious reasons can't be matched to a rotor designed to operated in the 500-700 degree temp range.
