Default anyone know where to get Bear rotors & pads?

I bought my 94 z28 with bear brakes on it and now it is time for a brake change and the cheapest i can find the pads are for $170 and the pair of rotors for $400. Id appreciate it if anyone could help me find some better pricing because that is pretty steep for just a brake change.

Did you get the 2 piston Baer Kit? If so the pads are the same as the stock sized replacement corvette pads.

Yeah its the 2 piston track kit. So i could just get the stock vette pads and they will fit? Are Baer rotors the only rotors i can use or can i use brembo like mention above?
