What rotors to buy?
Well the front driver rotor cracked the other day and it's time to buy a good set of rotors. I will be doing auto X and maybe a track day. I would like to get a pair for the fronts for under $500. What should I get. Thanks

Here's more than most people need to know about brake rotors. Or, as my friends at PFC regularly remind me - Brake Disc. What does the brake pad box say? Ok, Ok, I get it.
It's in two parts. You might also try a search on the blog about brake pads. I've written a bunch of articles about pad material.

You might want to look into Coleman. Two piece, slotted, made in the good old USA, and price, reasonable for the quality. I get a full HPDE season out of them, but I am gentle with the brakes (sometimes). One thing for sure, brakes are the most important consideration I give to my Z06. It goes real fast, and I want to ensure that it stops.

Rockauto.com has various Corvette sized rotors at lowest prices I had found online. Cheap blanks are what go with.
I got front/rear pairs for spares for $140 shipped couple of months ago.
