Post Rotor Question

Hey,
I was wondering what kind of rotors you guys are running on your rears. My rotors are warped and was looking at Brembo blanks (25538), but I think it's for 1993-2000. Any suggestions on any other rotors or if these blanks actually fit my LS or should I just stick with OEM?

OEM's are good. Brembo blanks are also another good choice for the 92.

brembo or centric blanks will be just fine. I've run both (on the LS and other cars) for years without issues.

i use these rear rotors since i have their cross drills in the front xD w/ stock oem pads.

but im sure the brembo or centric blanks probably work a lot better. so far i haven't had any issues with the r1concepts rotors

I've had good luck with the coated Centric rotors on other cars.

Thanks for the input guys, I was leaning towards Brembo blanks, but I think they don't fit my 92 for my rears. Can anyone suggest a good site for the Centric rotors?

I've just got NAPA blanks on my rears (with EBC RedStuff pads), but I've had both R1 Concepts slotted and now drilled/slotted rotors up front and they've performed excellent. Highly recommend anything from R1 Concepts.

Is a shame that I hadn't know about your problem earlier. I had a complete set of Cross drilled and slotted that I bought from I-Rotors.com for my 92, but had never installed them. Had them here on the classified for awhile now. Just got rid of them.

I use EBC Brakes (Red Stuff) and Rotors (cross drilled and slotted)...low brake dust and stops on a dime. I'm looking to upgrade my pistons as I'm still running stock...It is well worth the price I paid for both...

haha thanks for the concern and responses. I am leaning more towards the Centric Blanks, it's around $60 for both, and got pretty good reviews. However I will look into EBC and the other ones if I don't go with the Centrics. Will order within the week.
