Bingo.
Those are for the C6ZO6, I also have them to fit the C5 and C6. The rotors are Coleman racing and the hats are 6061 T6 aluminum with hardcoat anodizing on them. The fastners are NAS fastners holding the two together so you don't have to worry about anything seperating. It allows full use of the parking brake while using the stock brake calipers in the stock location, there are not spacer or adapter brackets needed.

When are they available and how much? Weight savings over stock? I am running coleman 2-piece fronts and stock rear rotors and have been waiting for this.

Your welcome Lonnie,
Yes these are OEM fitments for C6ZO6, C6, and C5. The ones pictured are for a C6ZO6. They will bolt right on like you are installing a 1 piece rotor. You do not have to space the calipers at all.

Yes these are done and were in stock. I will have more sets next week and no they were not developed by goffman. These were developed by myself and Robert Finlayson. These were my baby and we have been working on the brake rotors etc for the past 6 years or so, we have just not been putting them out there in front of anyone. The rear park brake rotors have been in development for a long time and we have tried several variations of them that we have come up with, what you see here in these pictures is years of hard work and testing. We have the only two piece rotor and hat that uses the stock caliper in the stock location. It is 100% USA built. There is allot of R&D that goes on here that is very few actually know about. There are allot of Corvette race cars out there with our rotors on them, that is the test bed before they hit the street. We will also have some other very cool parts coming out later this year that I just can't talk about yet, but keep your eyes open.

David, no secret to anyone except that Performance AFX and I have been working on these together over the past 5 years before there was Performance AFX. He makes them for us and through agreements now sells them, but these were our babies, at least at one time. I need to go back and re-negotiate my deals.
Just kidding Robert, When are you bringing me my car?

I agree, but this was before the forum. Bob, Randy and I have been friends for a long time. He is working on my new test R&D vehicle right now for me. We are building it here, but he did the cage work and some other odds and ends for me. Here is a pic.

These are $799 for the set. These are more expensive then the fronts only because of machining time, but not that much more. I don't have the weight on the ZO6 yet as I can't find my stock rotor. On the C5/6 it is a 3 1/2 lbs difference per rotor. I expect these to follow with that, but I would rather know the exact number. The ZO6 rear two piece weighs in at 14lbs. If you have your stock one let me know what it weighs.
Thanks
