Wow - I have a friend with the same issue (2008 RK). I have been looking at "upgrading" my brakes on my 2000 EGC - But after seeing this post, my friends issues and others I have heard about, I will just keep my original/stock calipers and rotors!!

Only the Harley Brembo calipers have been known to warp the rotors. PM calipers have never been an issue, nor have the HHI calipers. Kind of strange and makes no sense but take it for what it is.

I need new rotors now, and my OEM ones are still not warped. So Guess what part I'm going with! I should be able to get both mine treated here in town for $40.00
Just adding my $0.02 to the mix.

Interesting, Turbo Turtle aka Bob!!

I just looked up cryo treatment here in my zip code and could not find anyone doing it.
