Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.
Rockauto sells I believe Centric rotors which have good reviews on the various LS forums I've seen, and they're cheap!
GTI Clubsport rotors drop 2.2lbs per side at the front
Centric 120 Rotors and PosiQuiet pads should run about $240 in parts shipped (front and rear).
I have centric rotors, stop tech brake pads and SS brake lines and it is 100x more responsive than stock. Best decision ever!
But Centric blanks are absolutely worth a purchase. I've used them on my prior daily SVT Focus and they worked perfectly for many years.
Never bought Centric Calipers, but I’ve bought their “Premium” rotors for three different cars and have been very pleased with them. I have heard great things about their posi-quiet (I think that’s the name) ceramic brake pads, but I always use Akebono since the price difference is usually pretty small on rockauto and akebono is super premium. Those pads are amazing. Great performance, no dust, and no noise.
FWIW, I recently replaced my front rotors and pads at 40k and I have about 8mm on the back. At this rate, I'll probably have to replace the backs around the same time I do the fronts again. My rotors look nothing like yours though. Mine are smooth and no grooves.
I'm actually running corrado g60 rotors right now that i redrilled to 5 bolt since my last set warped.
Unfortunately the problem is inherent in the design of the rotors. Not in where they were produced. You can put the best rotors in the world on that car and they will still warp. Vw/Chrysler would need to spec a larger and thicker rotor to help dissipate heat properly. All aftermarkets will make the rotor to fit, based on the crappy oem specs. So, get used to having new rotors put on...because recall or not, Chrysler still needs to redesign that rotor. FYI, I'm in the same boat as you guys! These rotors suck!
