I redid all the pads and rotors last fall, putting aftermarkets on the rears and ACDelco rotors on the front, mostly because I got a spectacular deal for them on Amazon. I've had some pulsing for awhile, so I took the car to a shop and found out the fronts are warped. After far less than a year.
So, my question is, is this a common thing with the OEM rotors now that they, like nearly every replacement part, are made in China? Or did I just get part of a bad batch? I ask particularly because Amazon would like to sell me a replacement set for even less than the ridiculously low price I paid to begin with.
And if third party is the way to go, what are a couple of good brands?

I swapped out mine for Delcos a few years back, no problems here...
Are you torquing the lugs? Suspension/steering components up to snuff?

Torqued the lugs. (The car was sold to me with a stripped lug and thus a missing lug nut, so I'm sensitive on that subject.) How would suspension problems make the rotors warp?

Won't cause warping, will exaggerate pulsing/vibration...
