I haven't received my rotors yet, but Maryland Speed shipped them the day after I ordered and they will be at my door by tommorow eveing so if your on the fence about ordering them based on a time crunch these guys are incredible about shipping product quickly. As for quality I priced some part store brands and I had never heard of most of them, with the exception of their best rotor, a Wagner. For the fronts alone it was going to be around $125 before tax. Once I calculated the rears in it was going to end up being around $200 or more after tax. Again this was for Wagner rotors. Not saying that their rotors are horrible, but for $30 more dollars I would take my chances on a rotor made by a company that I have seen Sam Strano and others allude to as being made much better than normal bargin bin rotors seen on many of our cars. I have seen DBA rotors on other cars and just looking at them they atleast appear to be of superior craftsmanship compared to cheap parts store rotors I priced earlier. And I also think that the extra $30 dollars does help keep a sponsor who is always willing to help the LS1Tech family with group purchases and really great sales and free shipping specials.

I actually was so excited about the rotors that I forgot to order pads. DOH!
Why not order them now. You have to order them via the website anyway. It is an online only deal.
But Hawk pads can't be beat. Make sure you get the ones for street use (unless you are going to autocross.) I think they are the ones in purple box but dont quote me on that.
I also like DBA pads, but I dont know if they are available for Fbody. They work great but tend to wear a little faster than Hawks.
That's my opinion.

DBA's are about the best OEM replacement rotor you can buy. The issue with the F-body ones in nobody really marketed them here, so they have sat on the shelf a while. The manufactuer is clearing them out for more warehouse space now.

My set just arrived!!! They look freakin' cool and are really thick. Maybe I wont have warping issues any more. Thanks for the deal. I'm considering buying a backup set.
