Default Which Rotors? Need advice....

Im getting ready to do the brakes again on my 2001 LS1...but my rotors have been turned twice already. I think its time for rotor change, but what kind? The GM rotors keep warping for some reason. did i just get a set of bad rotors when i bought the car? Anyways, what type of rotors should i get? Should i just get the GM factory ones, or should i go with drilled/slotted rotors? What kind of rotors should i get? I dont need to spend a spank load of money either..i just need a decent set of rotors that wont warp under normal driving conditions....thanks <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Get your rotors from Autozone. They are dirt cheap and they are quality rotors. Everyone has warping problems with their OE rotors...they suck.

I should be getting my EBC rotors and pads soon from the Quicktime gp.

I'll let you know how they do.

I just replaced my stock rotors with KVR cross drilled rotors and Carbon-Metalic pads. Boy what a difference, vented front and rear and they stop like an anchor. Price is moderate at about $550 for fronts and rears. I believe you get what you pay for. Just my 2¢
