Brake rotors
I remember reading a post about brake rotors from NAPA. I went today to pick some up for a friends 2000 vette (front Rotors) and they were 19.00 each. I started laughing because they were so cheap and if I wanted to be a bigger spender I could have gotten the crossed drilled heavy duty ones for 45.00 each. Now I hope the quality is better than the factory ones because the factory ones warp by looking at them. Anyway I'll let you all know how they are in quality when I pick them up later today.

Nice to know there are some good, inexpensive rotors out there that actually work well.FYI, a "trekkie" is a somewhat demeaning term while "trekker" is the word those attending the conventions prefer, as it denotes a "healthy interest" in the sci-fi series rather than a blind, rabid fanatacism. That's just FYI, though.

Me too. I'm old enough to have seen the original Star Trek episodes when they were first aired. :bb

The NAPA rotors are made by Raybestots and of higher quality then OEM.
many ppl use them on the track with great results
They may be inexpensive but they are not cheap. However, if you really want to feel have the best brakes, send me $500 and I will go to Napa and buy the rotors for you. Of course shipping is extra

Sportbrakes has a great product as well and they are zinc coated. The regular rotor is about the same price as the Raybestos regular uncoated rotor or add another $50 and get drilled / slotted or just slotted.

That is a very good price for some replacement rotors, even if you went with the cross-drilled ones. Hope they last better than the stock ones.
