They're toast. I have had good luck with these calipers.

Thanks for the link Mick, I purchased O-ring conversion kits ahead of time...so i posted WTB on parts hoping I dont end up with a kit I don't need...Maybe someone went Wildwood and has a set for cheap....

Yes. If you own a Corvette, you'll need them eventually.
May as well do the m/c while you're at it.

Take the time to set up the rotor run-out by the book, it makes a huge difference in how well the brakes work in the end.

Rotors measure almost stock dementions, very surprised. will sand surface rust to clean them up but I think they are good....Will leave them riveted.

Good. The stock rotors are really durable.
