My HPDE 4th Gen Camaro needs some new rotors for my C5/6 front brakes. Pros and Cons of Plain, Cryo and High Carbon? The prices go from $110 to $208 for the pair. Enjoying Raybestos ST43 for pads.

I did some research on the subject along with your recommendations. Discovered StopTech is made by Centric. TireRack carries the Centric rotors (not slotted) for $55 each with free shipping. Received in 1 day. Although they are made in China they appear to be machined and finished in the US.

Yes, they are related. No, they aren't the same rotors. The Stoptech rotors are a bit different in design and in the internal venting they use. The Centric rotors are very good for the money, but they are not quite the same as the Stoptech rotors.
