Hello everyone,
Just registered to the site! It's awesome to see the love these f-body cars and LSx engines have. I've got an all stock (except exhaust) '02 WS6. Parked it last September with 30,024 miles! Looking to get some rotors and pads before its pulled out this spring. Any thoughts and/or suggestions on what I should be looking into? I'm looking for quality and performance while keeping the 'all stock' in mind.

Thanks for the time

IMO keeping the car "all stock" is not something you want to do. There are a ton of tasteful mods that will drastically improve the way the car drives/handles/rides/stops and accelerates. Store the stock parts somewhere after getting aftermarket ones if you like, but the a lot of the stock stuff is junk (like the shocks for example). I would at least get some good shocks(konis), aftermarket exhaust(LT headers, ORY, e-cutout), and an MGW shifter.
But on topic get some quality blank rotors, NOT drilled, slotted is ok but blanks are ideal. Look into some Hawk HPS pads front and rear:

Way more stopping power, but will dust more than the stock pads (anything with more stopping power is going to dust more).
Take your pick of rotors:

Just stick with white box rotors and spend the money on the pads. I tracked white box rotors with hawk blue pads. Something that you would not do unless on a racetrack the point is the pads heated and checked the rotors past what a street car would ever see and they did not warp.

Affordable and proven reliable? Brakemotive.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions! All so nice and helpful! I think I'm going to have to get a hold of this Strano guy. He sounds like he's the guy that knows these cars! Thanks again!
