Re: BRAKES AND ROTERS? (red-y)
do you have J55??? I don't recommend using drilled or grooved... they crack where and when you don't want...
I just did the full GS upgrade. New calipers, and 13" rotors, EBC pads, SS lines. Very nice.
I think the Z06 or even C5 upgrades would be good, too.
There are some very costly upgrades... Brembo, AP, Baer, Wilwood. All VERY good, but, gee, for $1500 on up, is way to much for the improvement, especially on the street.

Re: BRAKES AND ROTERS? (bogus)
Search for JEFF KOPP in the forums.....he is with superior chevrolet. I got a quote for rotors only from my dealership.....$420. From Jeff......$210 for all four. Plus Performance friction pads for $100 at auto zone...and then have the dealer install them....I should get it all for almost wht I would have spent on the rotors alons at the dealer!!! But...thats just my solution! :) :D

Here's Jeff Kopp's web page describing p/n s and prices for a GS upgrade.

I was able to find most of the parts on e-bay and saved about $150.
Cheers,
