I am not a Pro. But for my 2 cents worth.

I got rotors from www.irotors.com and received discount when I e-mailed that I am a LS1Tech member. The rear are 169.00 w zinc and shipping.

I then ordered Hawke Performace pads at another sponsor and got both front and rear for 143.00.

The Hawke Pads were a huge differnce IMO and the Irotor rotors are drilled/slotted and I am happy with them.


But if you have allot more cash then I am sure their are oversized rotors and kits to make you happy for lots of $$$.

Yep I have iRotors too and love them
Drilled, slotted, and Zinc plated.
And I'm running Raybestos QuietStop pads... ceramic front, metallic rear.
Total ran me about $430.
9 months later... still look and perform as good as the day I got them!

This is a very common question. The search feature works wonders.

Here are two threads to get you started:
