"warped rotors" often mean pad deposits on the rotor surface. Maybe look to the pads for a fix this time. I've done well with high performance ceramic pads from Akebono
Pros: high performance, ceramic pads

Instead of replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM, I went with Akebonos (ceramic brake pads) and it’s shocking how much bite there is. Like I have to raise up my brake pedal at every red light or else I lurch forward. Also did a brake fluid flush.
Pros: shocking bite, very responsive
Cons: lurch forward at stops
Vehicle:
Lexus RX
I usually grab anything powerstop, centric, brembo, akebono from rockauto. Especially on rotors their prices are hard to beat
Pros: hard to beat prices
Tire Rack has Akebono pads and wear sensors for Brembo caliper Q5's
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Akebono Euro Ceramics are my pad of choice, put some on our 2023 to stop it from grinding
Pros: stop it from grinding
Vehicle:

Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads. I put them on my jetta in sept and they're not showing any wear.
Pros: no wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Akebono ProACT ceramics have been solid for me on multiple cars over the years. They're OEM supplier for a lot of manufacturers so you know they're not gonna be sketchy, and the stopping power is definitely an upgrade from stock without being overkill for daily driving
Pros: stopping power upgrade, not sketchy
Akebono ProACT or Brembo OEM ceramic pads are great for strong, reliable stopping power and low dust on a 2019 Fusion Hybrid; if the rotors are worn, replace or resurface them too.
Pros: strong, reliable stopping power
Cons: rotors may need replacement
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
Having said that - aside from the valve cover gasket - that job requires all gaskets replaced on the air intake side, and I’m not seeing those in the list. Also, for some reason, I had bad luck with Akebono pads on my Honda. Worked well on a Toyota but just about each time my Pilot would develop a shimmy after about 10k kms after pads replacement. I have had a much better luck with Centrix rotors and pads.
Pros: better luck with Centrix rotors/pads
Cons: bad luck with Akebono pads
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Mileage: 10000 km
I would stay away from ceramic Akebonos. Out of all ceramic pads I tried, they felt the most dangerous. They had close to zero initial bite and required three times the leg effort to brake.
Cons: zero initial bite, dangerous
