Default brake solution?

i got a 2002 coupe 4cyl, got 37k miles on it now, and it's the 3rd time that the front rotors are warped, :down: and since that i can't machine them anymore cuz they are too thin now. :doh:
so is there a solution for me? is there a rotor + pad combo that won't warp? i don't drive like a maniac, but i certainly don't brake like grandma, just moderate useage, and warped rotors are just extremely annoying. so can i get a certain brand of rotors and pads so they won't warp anymore? or will i never be able to get rid of warped rotors? because if there is NO FIX, then i'd rather just stay with my warped rotors till my pads are gone then get new OEM rotors and continue with the cycle. :angry:
btw, i can't get the complete brembo setup, not rich enough. i'm just wonderng if there's a fix.

try some hawk pads and try to consciously stop smoother...hit the brake lighter earlier and be smoooooove with it....you could go with some slotted/xdrilled rotors if you wanted....get some good pads, and i have no clue whether they have rotors on the rear or drums.....if drums, then make sure they are adjusted good and snug..........
