Default Any good deals on rotors?

I was looking around and cant really find a good deal on a set drilled rotors. I found these but I know you get what you pay for. Anybody try them? I may end up buying some factory drilled rotors off ebay or something.

Also what are some pads that are more agressive than stock but still work on the street? I bought some oem compound pads cause I was in a pinch and needed some brakes cheap but they suck! Cant even stop from 100 without them going to ****. Deff not oem compound!

No not yet. Being that cheap I'm kind of scared that I'll even get something that fits my car but if they do and don’t warp under some hard braking then they may be worth it. I'm very hard on brakes so I don’t know if cheap ones will hold up to my abuse. I might try them before I take the plunge on the GM ones. But the factory rotors are Brembo so I think they would be worth it. I don’t know yet. I just put a set of pads on so I'll have a bit to think about it but I definitely want some.

I'd like those red devil titanium rotors but I cant justify spending that much money on a car that never sees anything but the street. Like 5 grand for a set of red devils and 300 to get them recoated! I mean those are some bad *** rotors but I cant see spending that much just for rotors. I'm not saying they aren’t worth it but gee's that’s a lot!

No on the rotors IMHO. Not a place I would try to save money. A well respected friend who owns a speed shop won't install non oe rotors due to comebacks. I feel your pain though. I will need a set soon.

Contact James, the Parts Manager, at Lindsay Cadillac in Alexandria, VA. He should have both the OE and the CDRs in stock.
He takes care of V owners.
