Default Looking to buy a set of rotors for my 01 SS

Where is a good place to buy ? Not looking for anything fancy. Cheapest I have found so far local is O'Reilly's...... Warner brand 1 year warranty $124 for front and year. Any good deals online ?

Go to the group buy section, PBT is selling drilled & drilled/slotted rotors for a decent price. Have no clue about warranty though. I'm going to order a set if I can get in touch before he sells out.

I know in AZ the drilled rotors don't have a long life, but the slotted are not prone. You may want to just look into them.

id honestly suggest you just get brembo blanks. they last longer and have more braking power than alot of drilled or slotted rotors, plus your pads will last longer. I believe strano performance parts had some good deals on them

You won't be able to get Brembo blanks because they are on national backorder. The only ones I were able to find were by going to CarQuest and having them look them up through WorldPac. There are 2 front Brembo blanks sitting in a warehouse in NJ for $77.39 each.

Read the "Brembo blanks are on backorder" thread for more details. I couldn't find rear blanks anywhere...the only rears they were showing were sold as a set of 2 fo $330 but I believe those are D/S premium Brembo's.

If Stranoparts.com had the Brembo's in now I would have bought them last week but they were looking at most likely December until getting them in. Their price is great only like 64-67$ each.

But because I can't wait that long I am most likely going for the set of ATE rotors on there sold as a set of 4 for $319. You really just can't beat that price. Dunno what shipping is though? Hope it's cheap

I can't imagine I'm the only one who has had their G/F yank up the P-brake to remove her cell and didn't get it down all the way lol. My brake lights is apparently out, but on the bright side I have newly polished rear rotors......
