I have a set of front rotors and pads for a 93-97 Camaro/Firebird. These rotors are not the cheap "made in china" rotors AAFES sells, these are made in the USA quality rotors!! They'll last longer than one set of brake pads, unlike the china rotors which develop cracks before the first set of pads are even worn out. $175 bucks. Any takers??

you might wanna look into getting a set like that from a 98+ vehicle and put that on your car as the OEM brakes on the pre 98's are plain Junk !
You need:

- steering knuckles
- Calipers
- rotors + pads

And then you can simply UPGRADE your Fbody to the 98+ standard which ofcourse is not the Porsche standard but a helluva lot better than the junk we have now.

Are the brakes the same for V-6 and Z28 models? Are the pads/rotors/calipers the same size?

Yup, V6 and V8 cars have the exact same brakes from 93-97 and the same for the 98+ F-bodies (V6+V8).
Note from 93-95 the v6's had drums in the back untill the RS came in 96, but as far as the front is concerned it's ALL the same ... Just as worse in some cases that is.

Jeff, yea there stock. Nothing fancy about em. Its just that there better than the cheepies that some places sell. The ones that start to crack all over before the first set of brake pads wear out. These you will actually get to turn for your next set of pads, without the cracks. Unless maybe you do some serious autocrossing with them.
