Default GM Rotors Drilled/Slotted

Sorry guys, I know this topic has been beat to death, but I found on GMPartsDirect some nice looking rotors for cheap.

How would these compare to the NAPA rotors?

What about the GM Ceramic pads?

I put GM rotors and GM ceramic pads on mine about a year ago. I have not had any problems with them cracking, but then again I do not road course the car. You will still get the brake dust because of the slots but it is really not that bad. I do plan on buying another set in the future especially since GM dropped the price on them. They used to be about $120.00 a piece about 6 months ago.

AWW2BAD - Are you getting rotor discoloration from the GM ceramic pads? Just curious because this has been raised in several threads lately. If yes, how noticeable is it? Thanks.

I just installed my new zinc plated sportbrakes rotors this weekend. I couldn't be happier. $250 delivered to my house in 4 days.

They look great, and with the PFC-Z pads the car stops on a dime.

After looking at the GM D/S rotors and the Napa D/S they look the same rotors. Also looked at the Rayspectro D/S (spelling incorect) also look like the same rotors.

NAPA cost is a little higher.
Ray cost is higher.

I made be wrong but they all look like the same rotors to me.
