I warped the stock rotors at about 10k, got the ABS slotted dimpled rotors and got the ABS ultramax pads, which suck 100%, squeel like a mad man so bad, I removed them and went back to a new set of stock brembo pads, which are very pricey.
Now, at 20k, the warping is back. And, im getting a squeel every so offen.
So, now, I need some very good experienced advice.
I need a good complete set of rotors/pads that will not warp and make the least amount of noise. I dont care about dust, or stopping power.
I dont want to go slotted or drilled either.
I appreciate any help, thanks all!

try rebedding your brakes

Weird. I track the hell out of my car and still use the stock rotors. Never had a problem. Are you running the brakes hard, then using the emergency brake?

I'm having the same problem and I really only drive it on the street. I'll admit, I do a little spirited driving on the highway at times but I'm sick of the warping.

re-bed the brakes, and make sure you havent over torqued the lug nuts

you've probably never actually warped your rotors. it's a transfer layer of pad material. re-bed and smile, but try not to boil your fluid while doing it.

Thanks for the info all. But my luck is bad, ofcourse.
Ok, I rebeded them on monday night , late, so there was no one on the road at the time. And it didnt work, so I tried it again, tuesday night, and it didnt work.
Now, the pulsing is worse, and the front left is squeeling like a mad man.
So, back to my original question.
Whats the best combo rotor/pads, to get for the least chance of warping and the least amount of noise?

dang! you must be riding on your brakes and created hot spots on your rotors.
or it was not properly bed on the first place. ( not enough cooling time between runs)

i'll try DBA rotors, rotora or RB rotors. you might want to ask them to cryo and heat treat the rotor aside from cross drilling and slotting them. this is if you are really that bad on your rotors.

I'll recommend hawk hps or frerodo 2500 for street pads .

The DBA 4000 rotors are pricey, but are quality rotors...can't go wrong with them. If you can't quite spend the money, I've had good experience with Stoptech rotors. As for pads, Hawk HPS pads have served me well in the past on all my cars, including the EVO. Just make sure to bed in your brakes as soon as possible after installing the new components.

Let me ask you this, do you think I should try getting them turned? Because I do have about 50% meat on the pads. do you think that would kill the noise, or should I just use that money for a better set of rotors/pads?

i've got my stock rotors turned and they work great...

over tightening of your lug nuts could be a contributing factor.
Use a torque wrench.
