Default front rotors question

feels like my front rotors are warped. 04 Z06.Autozone and oreillys show the same part number as regular vette. Are they the same? Or does anyone have a better price? Oreillys shows $52.99 for Wagners. I am useing the Gm ceramic pads...

Default Rotor

Rotors are not the same on both sides. The difference is the way the cooling van are shapped.....but dont worry that is why Napa has two different parts numbers ...one for right and one for the left side.

Check the country of manufacture on the box. The last time I bought rotors, the only brand I found that still said Made in USA was Wagner.
Others may be fine, but I am still a little skeptical about the metallurgy on foreign rotors.

They are made in China now, looks like the last of Canada lot has run out. I couldn't get a complete set.

They are still very good for the money and even less expensive now as a result of cheap labor. Napa sells the fronts for $37.99 and the rears for $32.99. I picked up some high temp paint for the rotor hats.
