Autozone Brake Rotors

Which rotors are the ones everyone uses to replace the junk factory rotors. Autozone lists 2, a $38 and a $25. I am assuming the $38 ones are them.

TIA

Re: Autozone Brake Rotors

I used the cheapest ones, I thought they were like $19 each. I only have about 800 miles on then though, so I really dont know how good they are. I just figured they would get me by till I do an LS1 upgrade

The Autozone rotors will rust big time...might want to mask and shoot some high temp paint on them before installing.

Re: Autozone Brake Rotors

I just replaced them with a set of 10 dollar rotors from Napa because I spent too much on Ceramic pads all the way around. Still haven't warped yet. If they do I'll be buying some cross drilled ones or something.

Re: Autozone Brake Rotors

I used the $38 ones on my 2001 Z28. I took them off after 14000 miles because they warped. I really didn't push them hard either. I turned the factory ones and so far they are ok. One thing I do different now is torque the wheels down in Three steps.

Re: Autozone Brake Rotors

I have run autozone or advance auto rotors for a long time without any problems. I just picked up a set today for the 95 v6 bird (currently waiting for the paint to dry on the calipers) the stock rotors gave me nothing but trouble but the autozone etc never warped at all.
I am running autozone Aimco extreme cross drilled and slotted on my 94 Z and they are in great shape after 20k, no cracks, no warping.
I only torque my lugs to 75 to 80 ft/lbs though and as long as you check em once in awhile you should have no problems.
