Are you over-torqueing the lug nuts? That can cause perfectly good rotors to warp.

Tried the slot and ported, not much change, they did the same, now the over torqueing is possibly, had to replace two back studs, but not in the front, where they always warp, been buying stock ones, but 3 months is about it, put new ones on, works great, for a short time, figured it was a cheap dodge caliper problem

From what I have read warped rotors is mostly a fiction. What people call warp is actually pad imprinting on the rotor surface. You can machine the rotors and then follow the correct break in procedure but sometimes you need to change the pad type.
