gm makes a set if you want to go custom or most auto parts stores will carry many different versions. just depends on the budget.

they are made by gm and are very high quality but expensive.

there are a few aftermarket companies that make similar setups however they tend to be alittle thinner and cause cracking when overheated.

the gm versions were roughly 650 for all 4. i currently have the fronts with braided line for 200 plus shipping if your interested. otherwise i believe you can get the cheaper aftermarket versions anywhere from 100-400 for a set depending on the options.

good luck.

Hey Kandied91z, I dig the wheels. Where did you get the spacers to use them?

skulte..........same as the many others on the board. thanks for the comments.

Soulless, just email me if your interested. i get alot of bites but most fall through. the braided lines are made be earl's. sell for 98 through summit for the whole kit and the rotors are a little over 150 a piece new. the lines have about 500 miles and the rotors have somewhere around 2500. the rotors in the picture are only a week old...........the difference is in the coating. the eradispeed baer's have zinc to keep them nice where as the gm don't. however the baer's are around 280 a rotor. all of it is in great shape but i do like to drive my car when it's nice. let me know.

i believe this is the number for the fronts.

18038517 18038518

the list price on my receipt is 270 however i paid roughly 150 and i've seen them on the net for even less however in most cases with shipping it equals out.

if your interested let me know, also if you don't want the lines i'll drop some money off of it.

yes i have the gm discs in the rear right now until i can find a way to modify the brackets to fit an eradispeed rotor in the rear to match the front.

however, i'm not selling those until i find a way to replace them. the stock plain rotors look terrible.

you can still get them through gm as well...they are about the same price as the fronts.
