Where is the best place to buy the carbon ceramic rotors?
I've looked and found $1342 to be the cheapest for a single front or rear plus shipping.
Thank you for your time

That sounds about right. They are not cheap. Look for a used set if you can.

Wanted to get these but was too late 3500 for all 4.
If mine ever wares out, I'm going to use a steel rotors instead since I don't track the car. Good luck and keep looking.

That is the best price I could find as well. I "tried" to order new pads today - from 3 different places - all accepted the orders and then emailed me back - parts have been discontinued.

Anyone know where to find OEM front and rear pads?

Same pads as c6 ZR1, so that’s interesting.

Try Rock Auto. They are the expensive ones.

Same pads but different brake wear sensor harnesses.

I went for Pagid RCS1. Not exactly the same compound as original but very very similar, and Pagid also make the original pads for either front or rear (can't remember which, but the other is by Textar, both are branded as Brembo but neither is actually made by Brembo!)

I can't tell the difference to the original pads when driving.

I will second this... no difference whatsoever. I was very happy with the performance of the RCS1.

I went original instead of pagid because at the time pagid was $700 ish per axle and original was $450 ish per axle.
Does pagid cone with wear sensor? I don’t remember but mine were just worn enough not to throw a light but to need replaced so change pads before you need to replace sensor harness. GM does not sell separate but rock auto sells rear separate but not front.
