Ahhh right, I don't know about those myself, they are probably better, but then the 4's are also better than standard by quite a bit. On a road car, probably still comes down to looks! <grin>...

I bought the Duralast rotors. They seem to be good quality. They were much cheaper then any of the rest. I am planning on running the Duralast rotors for a while and change them down the road if necessary.

I went on Amazon once again and bought 2010+ Camaro SS DBA 5000 two piece rotors. I like that I will be able to open the hub opening once and be done. A little pricey sure but I think it's worth it and it will look great behind my 18x10.5 weld racing RTS wheels.

I test fit the wheels over the caliper and rotors today. The wheel is rubbing on the caliper by a hair, I picked up what looks to be a 4 mm spacer. I'll test fit again tomorrow I hope this works.

Didn't thoroughly go through all these pages so sorry if I missed it but can someone tell me real quick if CTS-V rotors work? I'm seeing C6Z rotors, and 5th gen rotors with machine work are what people are using. What about CTS-V rotors? I am asking because I can get a used pair for 40 bucks and resurface them myself at work.... Can't really beat that. Just want to be sure they're direct bolt on like the C6Z rotors?
