Default are these brake kits any good?

my rotors suck! these newer trucks have a composite rotor and mine have already warped once, had them pulled and turned, now they are a bit warped again...from normal driving!

my warranty is no more for brakes, at 43K miles, so i want to replace the rotos/pads for a reasonable price.

i thought these looked a bit better than the stockers.

+1. I've learned the hard way that this is really a great way to go. I ran a Brembo kit on my old rig and had numerous issues. Every truck I've driven/ridden in with a setup as described above has been outstanding. No durability problems, no squealing, and the SS lines (don't forget the good fluid of your choice) take out nearly all of the mushiness from the pedal feel.

+ 2 I ran that same setup on my lifted suburban, and that solved all of my warping issues.
