Default C5 Z06 Solo rotor choices?

I did a search and came up empty - sorry if this is an old question

It looks like stock (no slot, no drilled, no nuthin') rotors are the only option in Solo II Super Stock. Recommendations for best of the "stock" rotors?

I'm planning to "upgrade" to the AC Delco Dura Stop ceramic pads for now and then I'll rethink for next season.

First autox in the Z06 this weekend!

Why ceramic?
Aren't those the "dust free" street pads?
Don't think they're anyone's first choice for autox ...

I'll own it as one of those "post before research" things - I just looked at the Eckler's catalog before doing a search here.

Seems like the right choice is the stock pads or the PFC-Z or Hawk HP+...I'll probably stick with the stockers for now. Clearly a lot of other choices (and a lot of posts with other combos) but the consensus (as close as I could see) were the choices above.

Sorry folks; I wasted some bandwidth with this one not thinking through/researching before posting.

If you hunt around, they still have some of the good canadian made ones on the shelves. Probably a bit better than the Chinese ones they have been pushing recently...

For autocross pads you're going to want Hawk HP+. They're awesome on my car.
