01 Z28, searching for a good Rotor...
I'm tired of warping and turning my Duralast Rotors every week, I'm going to do a full brake job, pads and rotors to stop this annoying vibration. I know some of you are getting away with Duralasts just fine but my car just seems to eat them like candy, and this is just normal driving conditions... What is a good Rotor Brand to go with thats relatively inexpensive...
I was looking into these... http://www.wholesaledirectparts.com/...-106-75-212-35
I can deal with slotted but I'm trying to stay away from crossdrilled as I don't want any more rotor problems from this day forth... What are you using? Provide links too if you can...

I've heard good things about iRotors...
I've never had a problem w/ the dimpled rotors on my last car.

I know a couple of people who are using those that WS6store sells. I will be going with them as well once I get around to installing my LS1 front brake assembly.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I just replaced my rears with Bendix and they look just like the stockers, actually better, the centers are a nice gray color...I went to AdvanceAuto for mine I want to say they were $50/each...

Re: 01 Z28, searching for a good Rotor...
My Bendix were 18.5 lbs for 1 front rotor. Stock is 16 lbs. IIRC Brembo blanks are 19lbs.
No lcue about powerslot. Call and ask them.
Duralast and Wagner replacement rotors are in the 18lb range also. You can pick them up at Autozone or O Reilys.

Would Bendix happen to use stronger metal or are they just as likely to warp as Duralasts?
Also, according to Autozone's website, their cheaper Valuecraft $25 Rotor actually weighs more, weighing at 19 pounds... Would this be a good replacement rotor?
