Any news on the R1 rotors?

I ask because my recent brake job didn't last - the rear rotors that I had replaced in November (with pads, $890!!!) have warped. Can you believe that?! I am pee-ossed!!

If the dealer doesn't replace them for free, I'm going to need some options. The $30 Autozone specials are looking pretty good right now!

Thanks for the update guys - the dealer said that the brake repair gone bad is covered under their 1 year parts & labor warranty, so they will pick up the tab for replacing it. If they try to weasel out of covering it (probably not - we bought our Audi there and service both there as well), I'll go aftermarket.

There is a confounding factor with this, though - one of my rear Goodyear Wranglers is going bad. The belt is loose and shifting inside the tire, which pushes the treads off to one side, which makes it feel a lot (but not entirely) like an unbalanced tire. Kind of an odd thing to go wrong with it, but I need to sort that out and get it replaced (also under 1-yr warranty) before the Isuzu service writer is going to admit that the rotor is warped.

Will keep the board posted... I'm sure some bizarre problem will be discovered before this is all done. :-)
