Default Need suggestions for new blank rotors

I need new brakes - my current rotors are warped pretty bad. I want blank rotors. I used Brembo blanks on my old Rustang and liked those, but can't find them for f-bodies. I know for sure I'm gonna use Hawk HPS pads, but stuck on which rotors to get. Do you guys have any suggestions? Would NAPA rotors be ok? I don't wanna spend $400 for rotors either. Thanks!

Done more research... Looking at Centric rotors. Y'all have any personal experience with those?

Is it an LS1? http://stranoparts.com/partdetails.p...D=90&ModelID=7

That's both sets of HPS's and all 4 rotors for $350. Not $10 cheap junky rotors either. Not a fancy box but they took abuse on a track with race pads as well as any other stock sized rotor I ever ran.

I do not. Value went away and compared to the rotors mentioned previously the very slight improvement in wear on the track did not warrant the costs involved.

Thanks Sam, but I already ordered the pads. Do you have just the rotors?

Centric rotors are good. My dad has them on his 02 Z28.
