Rotor suggestions.

I'm going to switch to cermic pads here shortly as I'm tired of the brake dust on my nice shiny chrome wheels (and they are squeeling a bit). Can I get some recommendations on good rotors to go along with the ac delco ceramic pads? I want something relatively inexpensive, maybe a bit better than stock. I don't brake hard very often so I can afford to lose a *little* stopping power

Don't go there unless you plan to clear-coat them. Those suckers rust the minute they get wet. While the swept area will remain clean with use, the parts that aren't swept will look pretty crappy with all the rust build-up.

Don't ask me how I know.

I'm getting zinc-coated drilled rotors next.

I went with the slotted rotors from Rotorpros. Raybestos ceramic pads. No problems so far.

I painted my AC Delco drilled and slotted rotors before I installed them, along with AC Delco ceramic pads.

No rust here!! See my rotor pictures in "My Corvette Photos" to the left!

All very nice. Do you guys have any pricing info? I believe napa has some basic rotors (about the same as stock) that are pretty inexpensive but I'm not sure how well they will work. I would like somehthing that looks better but it's not the most important thing
