Default Brake Trouble!!!

whats up guys, i need some help.i have a 96'ss, and i recently ran into some brake trouble.

-my driver side rear rotor is warped beond belief, so i was wondering if my front rotors would fit on my rear brakes, and then i would purchase new drilled rotors from the aftermarket.

-would aftermarket rotors fit up front on stock calipers,if not what would i need besides brake pads???

thanks for the help.

Front rotors will not fit in back.

Many aftermarket rotors are designed to work with the stock calipers, so all you would need would be new rotors and pads, although it sounds like you need 4 new rotors and a complete set of pads.

BTW how did you ever warp a rear rotor?
