I need to replace the front and rear rotors on my 2014 z51 (warped and out of warranty. Dealer cut once).
Any thoughts what to brand / type to replace them with?
Thanks

If you are not tracking the car the OEM ACDelcos “heavy duty” are fine or you can upgrade to Power Stops slotted and drilled if want that look. Unlike brake pads where each brand and compound can feel, sound and dust at various levels rotors are basically all the same unless you get into racing style 2 piece directional ones. The only reason to upgrade to that level is better cooling on track and less rotational mass. For street driving you’ll never notice the difference between rotor brands, it’s just a slab of iron you slowly grind away.
Often warpped rotors are just pad deposits. Given the labor involved to turn or resurface them most people will just replace as they are very much a disposable wear and tear item.

I've had great luck with the R1 Concepts ELine rotors on customer's vehicles for a good budget replacement option. We are a dealer and happy to help with questions or an order on them.

I had the DBA on my C6 and were most happy with them. I got them from Ken at KNS and he went way out of his way to get them to me when no one else could. I assume the C7 ones are also good.

I bought the oem Z51 replacement rotors and pads. I like the stock Z51 stopping performance and don't care for any dust issue associated with high performance brakes.

I see the marks from the pad imprinting on the rotor surface.
Is that from sitting and a bit of rust or? It looks a bit like pad imprinting which can cause judder or the 'warped rotor' sensation.
I saved that picture.
