I need a good performance site for aftermarket or replacement parts on my 98' Trans AM

I also need to know what coating do I look for on my rotors to keep them from rusting as I don't have a garage.

Northern Auto Parts is my first stop for any performance car parts. The best thing for rusted rotors is a 10 minute drive around town. Coating your rotors will greatly reduce your braking and be dangerous!

rotors are made of metal and will rust from sitting around. surface rust will come off once you start driving it and applying the brakes. dont put anything on the rotors or you may not be able to stop

zinc plated rotors

other than that you can paint the center with high temp paint to keep it from rusting..you'll still get rust where the pads rub though without a plated rotor.

It's not a WS6 it's a reg 98 TA.

I plan on getting a low mileage 2002 WS6 later on in life.. but for right now I've got a daughter on the way and can't afford anymore toys. Next thing I'm going to buy is a truck to ride my baby girl around in.
