These asswipes e mail me and say they only have one rotor and I would have to pay an additional $14 for the other to get it in. I told them that was BS ans they were not listed as out of stock.

They refunded all my money LOL.


Stay away from that place.

I guess if they were back in stock it might still be worth a go? That sounds way cheap though . . .

I just ordered two for $31.95 each free shipping. Will let you guys know when they get here.

Whatever is on a C5 and base C6 Vette.

Yeah that's what I thought. When I built my brackets I went one size up to the "heavy duty" Z51 brakes. Not all the way to the ZO6 since I have 17's and that would have been a tight fit.

I looked on the site for the other sizes, and they didn't show anything for even the ZO6, much less the Z51 option. Oh well.

C5, C5 Z06 and C6 base brakes are all the same setup. I run 17's with this setup, I think they are 12.8 rotors.

The Z51 is considered "Heavy Duty" option on that and most sites.

I have bought them as cheap as $29 off sites before.

They are the real deal, red Brembo boxes, rotors have the black coating.

How did you get a Z51 rotor under a 17 inch wheel?

What's so special about the Brembo version compared to the ACDelco version?

Running wilwood SL 6R calipers that are pretty low profile. The last rotors were 13.9" custom pieces from Coleman and they were a little tighter fit.

Not totally sure but guessing metallurgy and also the "pillar vane" venting technology.

I have never run the A/C Delco's on track, only the Brembo.

Brembo is a world leader in brake technology, that should tell you why imo.

Seeing as the prices are comparable, it's a no brainer for me.
