Question What is a good set of front brake rotors?

I don’t want anything real expensive; just something that works well and will not rust on me.

Any suggestions?

If you don't want to spend a lot of money then I'd just go with a couple PowerSlots, they're around $100 a piece.


If you want to spend a little more than that, look into the Baer EradiSpeed's. They're about $500 for the front (both).

Do Vette rotors fit SS's/Z28's? If so, get the Corvette rotor and caliper assembly. You could probably find them at a junk yard somewhere for cheaper and bigger than Powerslot rotors. I'm gonna put Eclipse GSX rotors/calipers on my GS Eclipse. They are like an 1" bigger and the caliper is a lot larger. You might want to check sizes on your big brother.

Vette rotors & calipers do not bolt up. LG Motorsports does sell a kit that lets you mount the Vette rotors (& optionally, vette calipers) up front...

TireRack sells replacement Brembo rotors for $61 each.I've heard they are very good and don't warp.

I have had very good luck with AutoZone rotors. $38 each and they outlasted KVR blanks 8 times over on the road course.

And yes, C5 brakes will not bolt directly up to an F-body, but LG sells this:
