Brake Rotors

Does anybody have any suggestions on the cheapest place to pick up some quality rotors for the Z? I have been having some problems with them and need to replace them with some good rotors, but I didn't want to pay too much. Did anybody else have this problem?

Warped rotors are a major problem with Camaros. Mine has warped rotors right now and I'm getting them replaced since the car is still under warantee. Until the warantee expires, I'm gonna keep replacing them with the OEM rotors.

If I didn't have a warantee, I'd probably get some power slot rotors, or for big bucks I'd get Baer Eradispeed rotors.

Check out http://www.fasttoys.net

They have rotors made by KVR that are absolutely great quality. I am not sure how much you want to spend but they are around $70 a piece I believe. I had them on my car and they were just fine and never warped unlike my original GM rotors.

I've warped and cracked many brands, right chuck?

OEM, KVR, DBA and even Aimco ...

But the Aimcos have certainly impressed me with their longevity and reliability ...

AutoZone rotors!

But don't buy the Albany pads, they will squeal and put out a LOT of dust.

If I am not mistaken, the Aimco (autoZone) that cracked was being run the wrong way, thus not cooled properly.

Real cheap EBC rotors are available at FTFORCE.COM and at ULTIMATEFBODY.COM

I haven't heard much about ULTIMATE, but I get all my other stuff from FTFORCE.COM
