Best Rotors

My rotors are warped so I want to replace all of them, I've got a 05 LS, where do you guys think would be the best place to buy new rotors?

Also do you think it would be worth it to get cross drilled? Is there a noticeable difference?

Don't get drilled, just slotted.

I think GM had a recall on these so you can go to the dealer and get them changed for free.

EBC @ www.TurboTechRacing.com with the EBC pads is a very popular and recommended choice.

The other option is power slot with the Hawk pads.

Once I save up a little more, I'm going with an EBC setup and doing Goodbridge stainless lines after the brakes. Expensive as hell, but from what I've heard it'll be worth it.

I got the ones from R1 Concepts 2 years ago and i have about 40,000 miles on them and no issues. They were worth the investment.

**** I still have my stockers on, and I just rolled over 85,100 km's. But I've run into the same problem now, they have warped, so I was wondering the same thing too.

I have these sitting in my room waiting for the pads to come in. When they're in I will post up a review.

What are some cheap but yet good rotors without getting fancy cross drilled or slotted. Just replaceable ones?

Just remember you get what you pay for. Brake performance has lifetime guarantees on all of their rotors and a lifetime warranty against warping for the slotted dimple drilled rotors

So I think Im going to go with DIMPLED & SLOTTED from Brake Performance. Do you guys think it would be worth it to buy the Green Stuff pads over using the free ceramic ones that come with it? Would there be a noticeable difference worth paying $60 over?
