1le rotor options

I am looking to change out the front rotors on my 89 formula. I am going to do pads as well but I want to know if anyone has had a really good experience with a set of rotors. It has the performance brakes on it, I guess the 1le package same calipers as c4 vette. let me know what you guys think is the best set up to put on there.

Best? I'm unsure. I'm running AC Delco rotors with Hawks pads, a set-up that works well enough on a DD.

It will also depend on what you are doing with the car. I race mine and have tried many aftermarket rotors. My experience has been AC Delco gives the best life and least risk of cracking. Hawk Blue pads.

awesome that is what I wanted to know. I was looking at a set of drilled stop techs but I gues if they havea problem with cracking I will stay away from them and just go with the stock ones.

Blanks will always be better than slotted or drilled.
