Default Brake Rotors

00 z28 the stock rotors stink I had put on plenty of the GM rotors but they keep warping after 1,500 miles. I am thinkng about putting the Baer OEM Blanks, or the Power Slots slotted rotors on. anyone with experience on either or the two, or a good set of rotors for like under $200 each. I want to use the stock calipers also.

Here is a quote of mine from a recent thread on this subject:
There are many threads on the subject, here is one.)
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/262940-replacing-rotors-what-get.html
Follow the links in my post in that thread. Just dont do what absolut_speed talked about, he was joking.
Here is a summary:
Best Deal: Brembo OEM Blanks (rotors) & Hawk HPS pads
Cheaper Solution: AutoZone Duralast Rotors & Hawk HPS Pads (or do a search for cheaper pads that others are using)
There are plenty of other choices but the price goes up from here.
BTW,
I do have Brembo OEM blanks and Hawk HPS pads. I got them from TireRack. I like them.

The Brembo OEM's work very well. They should do what you ask without cleaning out your wallet.
