I'm tired of these stock rotors warping, I had them cut about 10k miles ago and they are warped again. Can anyone reccomend a decent aftermarket performance rotor? I see AC Delco makes a drilled and slotted rotor, but only for the fronts. Ebay has a few nice kits available but I'm not sure on the quality. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks guys!

I would imagine the GXP rotors will fit!?!

You'd need the entire setup...incl calipers, brackets, and rotors....BIIIIIIIG bucks! A lot of guys are running R1concepts rotors...nice stuff. I'm planning on it once I get the funds back together after my recent mods.

what about that 13in brake kit from the w bodystore? will those fit our cars?

I'm using R1Concepts after my stock rotors where warped you could only feel it when doing 100+. I never really noticed a diffrence because the stock rotors stoped the car just fine for me. But i'm hard on these rotors and no warping yet which is all i really care about and the slots keep my pads shaved so they don't get uneven.

ive got the r1concept rotors and ive had them for a few thousand miles now and they really help when u need to stop from higher speeds like 80+ for me and they are really good in the rain plus they look cool on our cars but thats just me..but they have been a good rotor all around but if you get them too hot they will fade like a ****

FYI... Ac Delco are the OEM suppliers for the Brake pads/rotors used in our cars.

Can you feel the slots on the rotors during high speed heavy braking ?

Not really, the ***** are normaly doing other things to keep me busy...

Sint3k

***** ? lol

Anyways i guess its the pad i'm using. Wonder what it will feel like when i switch to semi metallic.

Go to a ceramic pad. It will bite better and last longer.

I hear those semi metallic pads last a long time but eat up the rotors. I think I'll be getting ceramic pads when I do this.

Sint3k

Not really worried about it i'm hoping by the time i need new rotors or pads brembo or someone will have a kit so i can plus size the rotors and calipers

I posted a while ago asking which would be better, the Akebono ceramics of Hawk HPS semi metallics. The pads are gonna run $135 either way. No one really had an opinion...which was pretty surprising.

I'm debating on getting the Premium R1's for $350 or the eLine, which these guys have, for $250. Don't know if the second set of drilled holes is worth it...but you do get the black eCoating on the hat and the edge. Gotta make a decision soon with the new wheels going on.

I am using Hawk no issues.

I still like EBC red stuff pads. They're not as costly and worked great on my other cars before. Thats what I plan on using with cross drilled and slotted rotors when the time comes.

How's the dust and initial bite, plus brake fade?

I put ProStop Ceramics on the car from PepBoys on the old rotors a few thousand miles ago. Very little brake dust, but the stopping power isn't there b/c I should have done rotors at that same time.

Yeah prostop ceramics last very long and essentialy do not dust. i have transfered my pads over from my old '93 GP to my '92 a couple of years back and I still havent had to change them out. Rotors are fine as well....As far as at the limit, I dont drive my cars overly hard so I can't say but they do just fine down a mountain.

Too bad Powerslot didnt have a brake set. Those with Hawk HPS pads were the best setup I used on my 04 Monte Carlo SS S/C Intimidator

Looks like the R1's are on sale right now. $105 and $170. Are the brakes the same for years 2006-2008? And BuffaloSS, I'm looking at the akebono pads, but where do you buy them from?
