Anyone recommend a good rotor
I put drilled/slotted rotors on my 1995 LT1 about 1000 miles ago. I started to feel some pulsing in the brakes and checked out the rotors to find my driver's rear rotor cracked in 4+ places. I use Hawk HPS pads and love to push the car pretty hard now and then. Can someone recommend a good non drilled/slotted rotor?
thanks in advance,
Phil

If you want the cross-drilled/slotted look the the Eradispeed are great. I've had them for several thousand miles w/o any problems.

I'd go back to stock rotors, unless you're fading them, that's exactly what you need for driving the car hard.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at rockauto but couldn't decide between acdelco or raybestos...i'll probably go with acdelco. Last question...Do I need rotors for "HD BRAKES"? I went through this before and thought in 1995 all vettes had larger brakes? I assume the HD brakes are the 13" front rotors instead of 12".
thanks again,

I used a set of NAPA rotors and have had good luck with them.
There was a link not long ago that was very interesting, especially it's theory about the source of brake pulsation. PS; it ain't from rotor warpage or cracking.....
