Call em and get the real thing for LESS. Use NON-CERAMIC (semi-metallic) if you want to STOP the car. OEM pads great for street use .

$22.80 where ?

Default AC delco rotors

Local AC Delco distributer TMI in Beltsville, MD. It should be the same at any Delco dealer if you get the right price.

Default rotors

Mine is a 98 C5 I'll look up the parts numbers. Since the flutes are directional you need 2 different rotors and don't put them on the wrong wheels or you might just make your C5 into an Autogyro. My rear rotors were a little scored but not much. Most of the braking goes to the front as evident from looking at the caliper size front vs rear... Buy some caliper paint when you do this and you will emulate a Z06.
