The wheel bearings are sealed and aren't the tapered timken type that many rear wheel cars use up front. I've heated my brakes to the point they wouldn't stop the car while hurrying around the track at Road America and have yet had to experiance any warping problems. I suspect there may have been a quality control problem regarding the metallurgical properties of the brake rotors. I remember when my car was new that several owners experienced warped rotors with-in a few thouand miles while others are still running around today with good originals.
