You guys think this is funny, but I met some Corvette ZR1 owners at Corvette Funfest one year that actually drilled their own rotors!! To make it even worse, they were telling everyone they could how much better their cars stopped now (without any facts to back it up).

i know some one who drilled their factory rotors on his 99 FRC. hes been around road atl many times and has had zero problems with the rotors and he was using PF Z rated pads. said he really liked the brakes. no saying i would have done it, but some people are willing to try

Are you kidding me?

Well I had to resurrect this one because Ecklers now offers chrome rotors for the Corvettes. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I'll never understand the motivation that drives some of the Vette crowd.

Since this is at the top, speaking of scary stuff, http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279060 . Nothing really wrong with what she did, but this:
QUOTE (S_J_H) keliente, I had some old factory ls1 piston pins I used for the end bushings since they accept a 14mm bolt with very close tolerance. I could have made it real simple and just used rod ends and tube end adapters like everybody else does. But I ended up doing a solid bushing with the bolt acting as a bearing surface since it is mucho cheaper and also stronger than a rod end, but the bolts will need to be greased now and then and replaced when it gets noisy, since they act as a bearing surface.

I assume you have to use those elementary school pink erasers for pads.
