Over time, the rubber boots around the caliper pistons can go bad. When this happens, your brakes rub all the time, as the pistion will not retract.
The stock rotors are prone to warping, so I suggest you go with aftermarket rotors. If this is your third set of rotors, I would suggest a front brake upgrade. The Shark Racing Big Brake kit is the Cheapest at about $530 us dollars, but there are also several AP racing kits, but those start at $1400....for front brakes only.
