Default $25 Napa Rotors?

It's time to do the brakes on my C5 Z06 and I remember reading about NAPA rotors in the forum for $25 bucks per rotor that did the trick. When I went to NAPA yesterday they wanted $42 per rotor. Anyone have the part numbers?

They went up on their prices...but they will bargain down from the $42 a little.

I still go thru rockauto.com.

Rotors
Forget the slotting or crossdrilling if you plan to go to the track stick with plane jane rotors you'll last longer.
NAPA - Most popular plus you can find them everywhere for around $20 each.

Not sure you can get them for $20 anymore. If you are a regular customer at your local NAPA store you should be able to get them for around $35. Price of steel and shipping has gone up.

I just went through this....my local NAPA guy knows me as the vette guy who buys all the rotors....Sebring is quite unforgiving...anyways he had to 'set up an account' with me to sell them for the old $26/pc. price. See if that'll work

I got mine from NAPA today. $36.89 for the fronts and 31.49 for the rears. The guy gave me a higher price first but then remembered I am a volume purchaser of rotors and gave me a lower price which knocked an additional ~ $25 off the total. Probably most of the price increase is due to the drop in the value of the dollar in relationship to the Canadian dollar. He used Acct. Number 04366 for Commercial/Gov't Employee.

I went with Rockauto, it was easy, fast and inexpensive. Four Raybestos rotors for $126 with freight. And I didn't have to leave home to do it, very cool.

I have never seen cracking there on my rotors - but I have seen plenty of "spiderweb" cracking on the rotor surfaces. The metallurgy of the NAPA vs stock vs Raybestos is negligible to identical unless someone slipped in some "counterfeit" parts.

I was just going to post and ask this...I was quoted 36 a piece also but the guy told me to bring in my receipt and he would see what he could do.

I cracked another yesterday at Grattan. I need spindle ducts bad, even doing an entire 3.5 mile cool down lap still leaves them too hot and they crack.
