Such a timely topic as I'm wondering the same thing myself. My Monte rotors I took off for my "clean up the brakes" project went to the wife's Impala to solve an annoying noise that appears to be bad rotors. So now I at least need new front rotors for my Monte (and I'm not looking to go crazy, but I want something good).

Think the Brake Motives would warp on me with my set up?

I've got the C5 Z06 fronts going on this weekend, I went with a EBC redstuff pads and EBC Slotted and dempled rotors. Pads and rotors are all around. After I got everything ceramic coated red to match the front rotors (stock rear calipers and all abutment brackets painted) it ran about $500 canadian I'll see if it was all worth it in april when the car comes out of storage

PERFORMANCE DRILLED & SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS


I got all my stuff from here ^^ I haven't put to many mile on my car since I had everything installed, they seem to be pretty good so far.... brakes, rotors and powder coated calipers and it cost me a good amount! Well worth it though......

For all the 5th genners: don't waste your time trying to even find these slotted/drilled rotors. The only ones made (if they even are still being made) are absolute garbage, and crack if you look at them wrong.

I have brakemotive d/s rotors on my car. I've had them since last summer. Zero complaints so far, but I've only driven a few thousand miles. If they last me a few years, I'll be more than happy
