Blank Rotors for LT1s?
My front discs are warped, they are powerslot rotors and I think they are beyond getting turned to get flat again. I can;t find Brembo blanks for LT1s, options I have found that look good are EBC and Bendix rotors, but I really have no idea.

thanks pork, but it looks like the only have drilled and slotted rotors, I'm looking for blanks. And I've never heard of brakemotive, an ebay only store makes me worry.
Someone must know if EBC and Bendix make quality rotors?

ok, finally found some brembos for my lt1, but I am confused with 2 different rotors, they both appear the same, but one says NLA - 3/10 in the description, what does this mean?

I've got good quality blanks available for the LT1 cars... $49 front, $44 rear.
I also have the ATE rotor too--which while not technically blanks, might as well be. The slots they have are cast in, and are shallow (only to minimum wear thickness). They have none of the cracking issues that cheap, after the fact, slotted or drilled rotors exhibit.
They are $55 front, $75 rear (and coated to prevent rust too).

Thanks Sam, it's between the two you mentioned and a set of brembo blanks I found at a place called prostreetonline. I like the ATE ones though, I told myself I was done with any kind of slotted rotors due to warping before but, like you said they're different. Do you recommend turning new rotors or just slapping them on?

Brembo blanks ain't what they used to be. I used to sell them, but two things happened (and related to each other). 1. They got really scarce and very hard to find. 2. They got scarce because they kept moving around where they were made to save money. 2A. Because of 2, the quality suffered.
The ATE's are about the same price (or used to be not sure now, but should be close), were consistent, and coated too. Some don't like the slot pattern--and slots in an of themselves aren't bad--only badly done slotted or drilled rotors are bad.
The Best rotors IMHO are as durable as the Brembo's, for less money. If you want an uncoated blank, I'd just do those.
