Default What are my options for larger rotors?

I've done hours of research...and was wondering if anyone could had additional info that i couldn't find.


What rotors can I buy that are an upgrade in rotor size (from stock z06) other than the Baer Eradispeed? I can't find any sizes listed for other rotors...and I don't really want to spend that much for the Eradispeeds...any other options?

You could get C6 Z51 brackets and rotors. They're 13.5" I think.

Thanks, I'll start looking at those! I should add that I'm only interested in slotted rotors.

I found these, http://www.www.r1concepts.com/p-1684...ed-rotors.aspx, but not sure if they are a size upgrade or not...

Go ahead and do it right, go with a C6 Z06 brake kit:

Looks really nice! But I doubt that would work with factory z06 wheels?

you can't get a larger front rotor in factory wheels. you can +1 the rears with the kind of ricey large rotor kit but it's not really going to have much of an impact on your fade resistance or 100-0 stop

I just want to have larger rear rotors for looks....and have all 4 rotors slotted. I never track the car...it stays in the garage waiting for sunny weekends mostly. So please let me know if anyone thinks this will/won't work:

I will purchase:
1. c5z06 size front slotted rotors
2. c6z51 sized rear slotted rotors
3. c6z51 rear caliper brackets
4. Hawk HPS c5z06 brake pads

Then will I be able to use my factory c5z06 calipers for both front and rear?

I have Wilwood's caliper upgrade. It uses the 13.4" C6 Z51 rotor and their 6 piston W6A caliper. It just squeezes under the front 17" wheel. And if you plan on buying bigger wheels down the road the same setup can run the C6 Z06 14" rotors and space the caliper out.

What kind of wheels are you running? The 2002+ ZO6 wheels? Does the Wilwood caliper allow for additional clearance over a stock caliper?

Have you ever seen scrape marks on the inside of your wheels due to clearance issues?

Can you link me to the setup on their page...is it in the C6 section? I couldnt find a kit with the 13.4" rotor, only 13" rotors...
