    Default Brakes

    Hi

    I own a 2006 Silverado 1500 Z71 Shorty and its time for front brakes. I'd like some recommendations on good rotors. I'll be using Delco pads. I've had great luck with them over the years. I've been told Raybestos makes a very good rotor, but there are no stores here in MA (that I can find ) that carries them. I could order them on line but I'm not big on that idea. Original GM rotors are out of my budget. Thank you in advance.

    why not just leave the rotors on the truck? are they warped? if they are warped just go to the local parts store and ask for 2nd line rotors, unless you tow, or haul frequently the 2nd line are fine.

    Have the rotors resurfaced. Thats what I did and it only cost me $30 for the both of them.
