rotor question
I have to do my front brakes before taking the Z out this spring, does anyone know a what a good set of rotors to use? I am thinking HPS pads with the stock caliper.

Re: rotor question
I was going to buy the NAPA replacement rotors when I did my pads. They seemed to be a good choice for just a straight up stock replacement part.
However, when I started looking at alternative parts I came across these guys, RotorsOnLine.com. Back in December of 06, if I remember right, they were having a clearance sale. 4 rotors for $200.00 plus shipping. Okay they were not stock replacements. They were the slotted & holed type, but for the price vs me going to NAPA the deal was hard to beat. The NAPA rotors were like $80.00 ea plus shipping, or at my local NAPA it was a two week wait to get them in, but they were a bit more than an online purchase. I had also looked at Wagoner Power Stop line of rotors, just slotted, and they were about $10.00 more than the regular NAPA rotors. I found the Wagoner ones at RockAuto.com. I think they were in the low $90.00 range. I posted up here about the RotorsOnLine guys because I had never seen these guys before. Jeff (Jeffvette) posted & siad that I would be good to go with those parts. I want to say that I don't do any HPDE's with the car, so this is just a street car. I've had them on about 9k miles and I have absolutely no complaints with the parts. No funky issues, no BS, they just work nice and the price was killer, like $240.00 shipped. They look nice also, which is like free bling for the cash I spent. Here is the link to those guys: http://rotorsonline.com/  Tom I should have mentioned this also Shaun, I was price shopping. I was trying to find good parts at reasonable prices. I can't justify the cost of some of the really top quality stuff as that stuff is a bit to pricey for my wallet.

Re: rotor question
Hawk HPS pads are the way to go for a street car used for occasional trips to the track.
If your going to the trouble do the braided steel lines too. You'll love the feel of the brakes. H

Re: rotor question
I'm running Powerslot C5 rotors that I swapped over from my '94. I think I paid around $100 each from TireRack. Made in US or Canada, I think -- be careful -- a lot of the rotors out there are made in China.
