Default 2005 Accord Rotor Warpage

I currently have Brembo Slotted and crossdrilled rotors up front on my 2005 Accord V6. I replaced the frontOEM's with these because I had warpage issues (i.e. had the rotors resurfaced with new pads but the rotors will warp again in 5-10k miles). After I replaced the front rotors with the Slotted and crossdrilled, the front brake issue was solved. Currently I am on my second set of rear rotors and I know the rear rotors are warped again because at speed, I pull the e-brake handle and the handle vibrates along with a noise. Since the rear rotors are the solid disc type, I am debating whether or not to replace the rear rotors with slotted and/or crossdrilled type. Any input is appreciated.

what size did you go with on the front? I plan to replace front and rear with aftermarket once I get out of warranty. I am going to attempt to convince my service dept to fix them once within warranty, cause they vibrate a fair amount when i apply the brakes at highway speed.

Well if it fixed the front, why wouldn't you do it on the rear as well? The only bad thing about slotted and drilled rotors are that they wear down the pads a lot faster than blanks.

Also note that Brembo doesn't make slotted and drilled rotors. At best, they are Brembo blanks that were slotted and drilled after the fact. Best bet is either true Brembo Sport rotors or just their blanks.

To my knowledge, I think the rotors up front were Brembo blanks that were drilled and slotted. With regards to size, they are the same OEM size. No other changes were made. I figured since the rear rotors are the solid disc type rather than vented, there may be some issues that I am not aware of.
