Hey There, I need to replace brakes on my 96 lt1 CE... I am looking to replace rotors with drilled and slotted for improved performance and looks . will also do pads and would love to find the low dust that still perform, I have found a couple of different options including some on Ebay .

Any suggestions that accomplish my goals would be appreciated.

TIA

I am sure happy with the PowerStop Z23 series I bought from RockAuto.  They seem to be on sale a lot as well - you need have good timing for that.  I easily upgraded my C5 with them, but will stay with the solid discs for my 35th Annie.  One of the items in the listing was that there was a special anti-corrosive kind of coating.  That wedge shaped part of the discs just outboard from the lug area usually rusts so it's an experiment so far.  I have talked a couple of neighbors into the Z23 PowerStops but for the larger vehicles (Kia Sedona and Chevrolet Equinox) they don't come with the drillings or slots.  And...  they are INCREDIBLY HEAVY compared to the Corvette discs!
