Ok, ducts are one solution, but I'm never on the track.

My point is that I shouldn't need to modify the car's stock braking setup to get more than 2-3 years without rotor warpage, if the car is driven in a civilized manner, on the street only, and observing the points that Kevin K has mentioned.
I know brake rotors are cheap and easy to replace...but it's the principle. Other cars in my family have gone 10 years without ever replacing rotors, I've replaced mine twice in less than five years. Just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or if Saabs (or the 9000 in particular) are just prone to rotor warpage more so than other cars...
