Rotors question
I'm looking at new rotors and pads and shopping on the corvettegarage online store. I noticed an AC Delco drilled/slotted set of rotors for $399 and a Baer Decelarotor set for $469. Not sure what the differences are, does anyone know if the Baer is worth the $70 extra (they look the same in the pictures).
Also pretty much decided on the Hawk HPS pad at $168, is that an o.k. price. Is CorvetteGarage the place to buy these items?

I agree with Hawk HPS pads, they are great.

Some guys have been using these lately, great price and the performance rotors are zinc plated.

Hawk pads are top quality...For a good price on good drilled and slotted, zinc electroplated rotors, try www.rotorpros.com I got a set of 4 from them at a great price and they are ROUND and BALANCED! As with any zinc plated rotor, you have to pay special attention to wear off the zinc in the pad wiping surface area and get the pads properly bedded...I will buy this brand again when I wear the current set out.
Pic below was with stock OEM rotors...note rust color behind wheels at rotor hat..Now they are bright & silvery! Sorry I don't have a current photo..

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I like the dimple/slotted performance rotors on this site, a little less money than the other two and probably less prone to cracking since they aren't drilled through, but still get the "bling" effect with the dimples. I may just go with these and the Hawk pads.
