    Ask to take a look at the front rotors from a 98-02 camaro at your local parts store.

    Should answer your question.

    And I'm running the EBC red pads as well, much better than the **** that was on there. So much so that I don't really care about modding my brakes much further since I'm still at stock GT power levels.

    The next time I have to replace my brakes, if I need new rotors, I will upgrade but I agree with you that if these Reds stop this well on the 11" rotor then I can't imagine how they would be on a 12". When I hit the brakes now I have to look behind me to see who will hit me instead of me hitting the car in front. I am amazed every day. Just when I think I've gotten used to them they surprise me. Because I also have them on the rear I can actually feel the rear "squat" a little.
