I replaced the factory rotors with Sportbrakes D/S rotors almost two years ago. Before installing the new rotors I masked off the firepath and sprayed two coats of clearcoat on each rotor hat. No issues to date. I simply wash off the hats when I wash the wheels. The zink coating did wear off on the firepath after a few months, causing some rust when I wash the Vette. One trip around the block and all of the rust is gone.

I went cheap-econo with Corvette Garage Sport Rotor Package ($399 for all 4). These are nice, zinc plated and don’t rust. I wouldn’t take these racing, but if you’re looking for clean rotors, these aren’t bad.

I also painted the brake caliper brackets and added the stainless steel brake pad covers to cover the black pads. This setup had almost 2K on it when I took the photo. Not hard to keep clean with a daily dusting after cooling with a micro fiber towel. Good luck on what ever you decide on.

Go with Sportbrakes, zinc coated. I think I got front & rear with both sets of pads for around $299. I think I ordered them off Sportbrake's eBay store. Great quality at the price.

What about the cheapos from R1Concepts? Anyone got any issues with those?

Thanks for the replies. Good input. Great pics. :cool:

If you get rotors that may rust I can attest to the fact that spraying this clearcoat on the hats of Delco rotors before they were installed has worked well for the past two years.
