Says he is running a Wilwood SL6 Caliper and a C5 rotor under that 17 inch wheel. I want to know how he did it.

I contacted the last owner, he bought the car the way it is.

I had SL6's on my 2002 Z28 with C4HD 13" rotors. There are all kinds of kits out there if you dig. If you're looking to swap yours over to C5 rotors...you're not likely to have much luck. I'm guessing there is a specific kit on that car that's designed to fit that rotor. The C5 rotors crack after hard use in many cases. You're already running a better rotor, I'd stick with it.

How did this rotor last on track?

Link to the kit?

I was running a base C6 kit and moved to the Wilwood, not impressed with the Wilwood rotor ring life or the cost. I would like to put the SL6 caliper on a longer lasting rotor, ala C4-C5.

Previously with the C6 kit and over the counter rotors I could get 16-24 sessions out of a set. I don't see that with the Wilwood rotor rings. I hurt a set pretty bad in 9 sessions with Raybestos ST47 pads. These were the 12.88 GT47 slotted rotor.

I will back up to the Wilwood "H" pad and already have the 13.06 slotted rotor on the car, I will see how it does in a few months.
