I went to the shop today to clean my rotors off on the lathe.. They had a little groove starting.. Well I brought my stock rotors with me also... I happened to lay them on top of each other and low and behold the new ones are LT1 rotors.. I bought them new from Carparts.com.. I have been running LT1 rotors for a month.. Bitburg, Sembach... Oh well I am running the right ones now.... Anyone want a set of slightly used LT1 rotors? |

George What makes you think their Lt1 Rotors? I have a hard time believing because Lt1 Rotors are are 10.5 inches I believe As compared to the LS1 11.8 inches. |

Well that would explain the difference in size.. Ask Jack or Dave with the 97 WS6 T/A. I laid it on top of the other one and it was a huge difference in size.. I was like WTF? I will bring them to Hockenheim..... I could not believe it myself...... |

George Were these part of the replacement parts to get the car back up and running. I am just surprised no noticed the difference when they were on your car. I know I didn't and I looked straight at your brakes at Bitburg and actually touched them . I was doing heat test experiment between cars. |

It was part of the wreck fix. I ordered them and dropped them off with the car.. When I got them back I noticed no difference so that is how it went un noticed. I did not think anything of it untill I layed them on top of it by accident. I would have never guessed it..... So you were the one fingering my brakes?  Well I guess when they are little you do not notice, but if someone switched yours out with a set of yugo rotors I am sure you would know....

Carparts.com. I ordered a whole bunch of stuff from them 2 months ago and still have'nt recieved alot of the stuff yet. I ordered alot of gaskets and they sent me some gaskets for a v-6 camaro. Who knows maybe now that they got bought out by jc-whitney they'll be better. It almost makes you wonder what car those brake rotors are intended for. |

Why, oh why do you people order from carparts???????? Place your order with Summit, Jegs, Thunder, IRS and get the right stuff within a week at most. If you have to get genuine  parts then order from Pace or Scoggin Dicky.
BTW George, it must have sucked having the LT1 rotors, I know they stop slower, because LT1's make you faster...............heheheh I just cant stop. |
