I am due for a brake reline in the near future. I know that I am probably going to have to replace the front rotors (they are starting to "wobble" a bit when braking). So the questions are these: is there a drilled/slotted rotor that fits the stock calipers? What can I expect to pay for them? Where would be the best place to purchase? Since this is a daily driver, are there really advantages to making the switch?
Since I'm pretty sure this topic has been around the block before, if someone can point me to the posts, I'd really appreciate it.
TIA

There are many drilled/slotted rotors that will fit stock calipers. However, for a daily driver (unless you race/autocross) these are probably not needed. If your normal rotors are within specs, just have them ground down and replace the pads.

With 112,000 miles on the origianl rotors, I doubt they are with in spec. However, I will check them. I would like to checkout autox if I can find someplace local. Thanks for the reply.

Order yourself a new catalog from VBP (vette brakes & products).
Just got mine. Lots of info, and free. http://www.VBandP.com
They have slotted rotors at a good price.
FYI.
