It all depends on want you want out of the car and brakes. I like these - http://shop.performanceafx.com/C6-Z51-Corvette_c15.htm They are lite and last a long time. Here are some good threads to look at - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/auto...-pad-wear.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/auto...ed-rotors.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/auto...t3-rotors.html & http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...or-advice.html "Post 8" I am going to give these pads a try. Good Luck!

If you are looking for a street pad a lot of members like the Carbotech 1521 brake pad. Sorry we do not sell rotors but, there is a number of choices when it comes to them. I like the centric premium myself it is blank no holes no slots.
The Carbotech™ 1521™ is our high performance street compound. The 1521™ compound is known for its release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521™ is also a very low dusting and low noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound's excellent linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Carbotech™ 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 800°F (426°C+). 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotech™ 1521™ is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
The 1521 can be purchased direct from me at 216-780-8825, I offer a 5% discount for forum members.
Front $148 Rear $128

Just one other thing. Any rotor that is perforated, like the drilled Z51 rotors, will get brake dust inside the vanes. Then, when you spray down your wheels, it will dribble out onto your wheel barrels and make a mess. Non-drilled rotors don't get dust into the interval vanes and this problem is greatly minimized.
I guess it only matters if you care about dirty barrels. I don't care a whole lot but I know of a couple of people who changed their rotors just for this reason.
