Default looking for help from you firebird guys

I have a friend w/ a 2000 firehawk x men edition. He rags the sh*t out of daily, he has 6 of them so no big deal i guess. He keeps warping his front rotors. I turned them about 2 months ago and they are warped again and i'm not turning them again. I know it's because of the way he drives but what companys can you guys susggest for good rotors and pads? He needs something better then stock and i don't know much about domestic parts. Also, will corvette brakes be better? I heard they bolt right on.
Thanx.

try Baer brakes. if he wants the stopping power of a $70,000 luxury sedan, that is.

once a rotor warps it will be prone to warping again because the thickness of the sweeped area is not uniform. The person should avoid drilled rotors as these have a tendancy to warp easier then slotted, from what I have experianced and been told.
