I just bought some Baer decelarotors, were approx $420/set/shipped. They have a 3 yr warp and cracking warranty. I searched Ebay but just didn't feel comfortable with the really cheap rotors. There is a Powerslot group buy on the forum now, they are good quality rotors too. See Cajundude post. They do not come drilled/slotted, but you can get dimpled/slotted. They also have a 3 year warranty. I just didn't think it was smart to go cheap on brakes, though many members on this forum have had good luck with the cheap rotors on Ebay.

Here is something you may not be aware of. The GM Durastop performance rotors are drilled and slotted, but the best part is this; 2-3 years ago the best price you could get was just under $600 for the set of 4. For some unknown reason, they are now somewhere around $250! What I am saying is, don't fool around with aftermarket stuff when you can get genuine GM performance parts way cheap!!

The stopping is no better or worse than it was before....although I got the ones that were not drilled so you may notice improvement over stock...kinda wished I got the drilled and slotted ones now...
...I called them prior to ordering off of Ebay..they seemed legit, answered any questions I had...

Wherever you buy your rotors make sure they are zinc washed/coated to keep them from rusting. I myself went with DIMPLED/slotted rather than the popular drilled/slotted zinc washed rotors and 'am very happy with them.
