Amazon does not carry the cryo version of the rotor layout though it it sells the regular slotted for $110 each. Funny that my 6-lug power slots were $66 for a 4x4.

please excuse my France, but where the hell did you find powerslots for $66? The cheapest ive found is tirerack for 86.99

at the time a merchant through amazon had them at that price and had one of each side being fulfilled from an Amazon warehouse left so I pounced. However the hawk pads cost me 96 from amazon itself and cost more than tire rack at that time but with the Amazon prime membership I have I get anything in a amazon warehouse at two-day shipping free and faster order processing so I still made out better and faster than other merchants.

Wasn't there a guy here who seperated the hub and rotor and made it so he could run 2 piece rotors ... I could have sworn I've seen that discussion here. It's a common on second gen Camaros to use a 3rd gen rotor/hub, cut off the rotor part and machine down the left overs to run Vette C5/C6 rotors ...

Lol I guess 86 is still good then.
Hey comet, what type of hawkpads did you purchase? Ceramic?

Very. I bought HP SuperDuty brake pads HB332P.654 for my application. A little better then then the suv grade with a little more dust and noise which I don't mind according to tire rack. I have decided to do new brake lines now as well but I am retaining the stock calipers for now. I think I am going to replace them though because the hardware is sticking in the caliper. Because of the backing plate problem I will have to wait till 1 week of next month to install new rear linings drums and hardware and will also do all the lines as well. I will know how well it works then.
