is this one or both sides? Price tells me one side but other sites are unclear

If you click on "More info" it says:

Sounds like a set to me. All the pictures show 2 rotors and 4 pads and they keep calling it a "kit."

That's how I read it but the price scares me

ryridesmotox

Why does the price scare you? Rockauto always has really good pricing on stuff. Unless I need something same day, I always use rockauto for OEM stuff. They even get better pricing than my wife, who works at a body shop and gets stuff at cost essentially. Rockauto does such massive volumes I bet they get good rates from manufacturers.

Is the Power Stop brand legitimately OE? Just some goofy name that GM gave it?

Looks like Power Stop makes rotors for all cars. For a sec I was thinkin about Power Slot, which is more reputable since they're made by Centric, but whatever. As long as you don't race on them, I'm sure they're fine.

They're not OE, they're OE replacement. Basically, any set of rotors you're going to buy could be advertised as "OE replacement", since they're designed to replace the OE rotors.

DarkCharisma

Ah, ok.

I'd like to stick OE because I am leery of "better" rotors that suggest they stop better than stock, but I've never seen data to back that up. One of the things I like about this car is how well it kills speed...

ended up being both front rotors and 4 pads for 140 shipped

I ordered the AC Delco rotors and pads from Rockauto. Says GM original equipment.

Do they look worth a damn?

look like the stock junk to me, came with ceramic pads. Ill install this weekend if Im not hungover

ryridesmotox

Other than the lighter dust, I'm not a fan of ceramic pads.

As long as they dont squeak I dont care, its a DD grocery getter than never goes above 4k rpm
