Actually i was told it's the pads that people use that make the rotors warp. Get a set of Brembo oem blanks with some PBR or Hawks HPS+ pads and you should be fine. I ran the brembo/PBR combo set on my 01 Z28 that i auto x'ed and had no problems at all. Give strano a call. I'm sure they are still around.

Try a set of power slot rotors which you can purchase from numerous sites or part stores. They are slotted only, will not warp, are cadnium coated for rust prevention and good looks, and increase you braking performance by 20%.
Hawk pads and power slots are a tough combination to beat.

I agree, brembo blanks with good pads and you should be fine.

I'd love to see them prove that 20% number..... (little tip, the Hawk pads are responsible for the gains you've seen in performance).

Anytime you drill or slot a rotor you are weakening it's structure. Drilling and slotting does not help your stopping power (actually it lessens it due to a loss of swept area). Further, he asked about blanks.

Brembo's are proven, they are cost effective, and they are tough. Mass equals resistance to warping, and Brembo OEM replacement rotors are actually heavier than GM and cheap-*** rotors are.

I've sold hundreds of them, many to folks who were warping anything they installed. If you can warp a Brembo (which is really hard to do), it's very slight, never the had massaging shake you get from the stockers, etc.

I even happen to have some fronts and rears in stock (along with Hawk and PBR pads). You want something else? Well, we have other rotors and pads as well, but I keep these here because they just work.
