What type of brake and rotor combo (all four wheels) do you recommend from summit/jegs etc? I want to get rid of the wobbly crap stockers on my 2004 LS.

Thanks,
gb

well i bought R1 concepts drilled & slotted premium e-coating rotors,with hawk performance brake pads, because my stock crappy rotors were wobbly. i know ther are many other combo's u can do, like f-body caliper upgrade with new rotors & pads. u just have 2 search the internet. good luck with your brake project.

Hawk pads are very popular on our cars, for rotors either E-TOP or R1

FWIW you can also install LS1 F-Body calipers on our cars (twin piston alum calipers as opposed to our single piston cast)

just get good premium blank rotors and call it a day. HPS pads. Good bed in and you'll be good to go.
