What are a good set of rotors, and how much would they set me back?

NAPA rotors.

About $25 each. Hard to believe but true, and they work just as well as those costing MUCH more.

You do realize that this exact question was answered in post #4 of your braking issues thread?

either that or spend a few thousand for 2-peice floating rotors.

1 note: paint the hubs before you mount them

This is where I got mine. I think it was under $100 shipped. Then I coated them with satin finish high-temp clear before mounting. If done correctly this will keep them from rusting.

I'm currently using base C6 rotors... front and rear.


They have been on for over 25,000 miles with no issues. I drive the car
year round in Michigan, drive it hard and occasionally road race it.
