Gmpartsdirect.com part number question

Just wanted to double check. Im hoping someone has order brake rotors from them. I need all 4 rotors, are these the correct part numbers?

front: 18060234
rear: 18028224

I think thats it, but id rather check and get it right the first time. Id check with them, but i cant find a phone number.

Thanks.

Make sure you get it right before you order from them. Their customer service is nearly non-existent. I've ordered three times from them. The first two times, I had no problems. The third time, I ordered an LT4 extreme duty timing set from them. A few days later I got a package only it wasn't the timing set it was some camshaft with a similiar part number. The invoice showed that I ordered an LT4 extreme duty timing set, so they obviously screwed up. When I emailed them about it(they don't have a phone number), they didn't reply. They did however issue a call tag for UPS to pick it up. They neglected to tell me this, so I ended up missing the UPS guy. I ended up having to ship it back at my own cost, because gmpartsdirect doesn't reply to my emails. I won't order from them again. Not worth the hassle. I could have had my turboed 383 together by now if they had only done their jobs, and sent me the right part.

Try Jason Cromer
He will do better on the prices, and if there's a prob you can talk to a person..
His shipping is better, too..
Have you considered Powerslots, etc?
[cheaper probably...]

Call Jason at Sam Taylor. Much better than dealing with GMPArtsDirect.

However, you might be able to get cheaper rotors from a local parts store/wholesaler. If you search around to see who carries no name brands you can get them much cheaper. (No name brands are still manufactured to DOT specs & alot of the time they are made by the same manufacturer who supplies the name brand companies with them.)

I paid $36 each for LT1 rear rotors from a local place called Big A Auto (on the receipt they are listed as UBP/FAP rotors). The guy showed me an identical set with a name brand for $112 each & let me compare them. They work fine & I haven't had any problems.

Those numbers look good to me. The fronts are pretty expensive. Have you considered all aftermarket options?

If you buy slotted or cross-drilled rotors, make sure that the slots and holes are cast into the rotor. If they are cheapy "drilled" rotors, there's a good chance that, under heavy repetetive breaking, they can warp.

The GOOD brake rotors have radius chamfered holes and are less prone to cracking and breaking (hence the price tag).

gmpartsdirect

When I order parts from gmpartsdirect, I first go to my local chevy dealership to get part numbers and prices. Then I compare and order the parts I need.

But sometimes their shipping can kill you. They often low ball the price of the item and then make up for it on shipping. Personally, with that and their poor customer service, I don't find a reason to do business with them. Jason or Dal don't rip you on shipping and are most times available on the phone or by email.
