I got Paul's front brake kit today and need to install new rotors. (Paul, everything arrived perfect! Thanks!) Where is a good place to buy nice LT1 Corvette heavy duty rotors (J55 option)? Is that the same as what is on the ZR1?

I've heard that cross drilled is useless and not worth the money. Slotted is good, but nothing wrong with good old solid surface. Is that consistent with what you know?

Personally a fan of the napa brand rotors. They are thicker (not in width, but in material.)
