need new rotors

my 2008 has 57000 miles but I flat tow it behind my 36' motorhome. The "brake buddy" system has caused my rotors to warp. I have had them machined at least 5 times. I want new rotors that will not warp. Can anyone made a specific recommendation? Thank you in advance.

Sorry - machined 5 times? Nope can't be done - they don't have that much metal.

Well, you can take that up with the chevy dealership. I've noticed that you are quite rude to other people on this forum. I don't appreciate you calling me a liar with your sarcastic response. If you can't help, mind your own business.

I didn't call you a liar (if I'd did you would definitely know it) - there is just enough metal to machine them 5 times. So please don't pm me again. Oh if you want to follow up on getting me banned.... Hummmmm you can let ME know. Have a nice day.

I once got 3 times.
Oh but wait, maybe if you don't care about safety you could just keep cutting till there ain't nothing left.

specific recommendation: hmmm. Well, I suppose that if I suggested using the search tool for one of the top 4 most discussed things on the forum I would just get called more names. So how about manually scan through all of the posts in the forum for titles that include "warped" "rotors" "brakes" "shudder" "shake" and things like that.

I corrected my rotors once - a year later it became crooked again.
I bought a new Brembo rotors. Set it, at the same time full prevention of my calipers and replacement of brake pads. A year later, I see the first signs of warping.
On this site a lot of complaints on the curves rotors, I think - HHR calipers have design flaws.
relation to the recommendations:
Brembo - a very reliable manufacturer, specialized in brake systems, international recognition and is not a terrible price.
