Default Brake gurus, please answer ???

Are there any aftermarket rotors worth the money?

Hmmm....Good question. I actually invested in some power slots about a year ago and they ended up warping within 5 months. I'm still looking for an affordable rotor that will not warp. Granted I'm guilty of some high speed stops and no doubt some water has gotten on the rotors when they have been heated up. But I certainly can't afford to replace my rotors every year. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Yeah, and I'm over here, with the autobahn less than 3 miles away, and Hans is always pulling in front of me!! I want to get something reliable, that doesn't cost $2500 for the fronts(Porsche GT3 upgrade)!!! One of the guys in my club has them all the way around! They are sweet, but I don't have that kind of cash to spend on brakes.. If you guys want to check them out, go to www.movit.de

Jack thanks for the free pucture post.
On the other hand I do believe the AC DELCO Durastop rotor is out now for the LS1. If it is anything like the quality of their brake pads . Then it will be probably be a best buy , that is until you learn to outdrive your brakes once again.

I've had powerslots on the front for about 14K and they seem to be holding up pretty good.
Wow, wish I could have afforded a decent (heck, any kind) of car when I was in Germany. Geibelstadt very seldom even had bus service back in '72.
