I'd be more suspicious if they said it was in stock.

If the counterman crosse-referenced the GM part numbers, you're probably ok. Probably. Probably. Prob.... Yeah, probably.

For 1LE rotors and you already verified they were the 11 & 13/16 rotors, not the standard ones? That's pimp.

How much have you used your acct. w/ Napa to get the discount?

oh, okay thanks.

Any idea if the C5 brakes fit inside 16x8" thirdgen wheels?

1LE rotors would be closer to $90 a side, once you'd paid for all that metal.

i paid 11 dollars canadian each side for stocker 10.5's. Im sure the larger disks wont be more then double that. NAPA anyway.


now that i think about it. These very same rotors were "Glowing" red hot about 5000 miles in. Boch premium pads.....But could be a caliper problem. I replaced everything (had parts on had same day things fried) so i didnt invesitage.

Well here is my take on the NAPA thing. I just replaced the rear axle bearings and seals in my 9-Bolt and I can tell you this, NAPA ain't got **** for the "Performance Package" applications. I ended up going to Auto Zone to get the right parts. FYI, Auto Zone are the only ones (around here anyway) that carry the bearings for a 9-Bolt. When I had the REAR brake lines ordered at NAPA for my rear swap, they sent FRONTS for the "Performance Package - 11 3/4" Rotor" and they were most definetly the ones for the standard brakes. I would never smack talk NAPA, but for this particular job, they really dropped the ball.
