My local NAPA is not showing a part# for rear brake rotors for an '05 or '06 Corvette. They do show a part number for an '04. Rotor diameter is 12". Are they the same as on the rear of a C6? Mine is a Z51 and I just bought the base C6 (non-slotted or drilled) front rotors from NAPA and need a set of rears so I can install my new Carbotech pads...

Thanks in advance

C'mon, anyone???

After searching the forum under "rotors", and "brakes" I found nothing other than that possibly the mounting brackets are different between the base C6 and the Z51 C6.

Anyone who has experience here please advise me I have an event this weekend and I'm running out of time

Thanks

Base C6 rotors (aka C5 rotors) require new caliper brackets on a C6 Z51 car. The part numbers on the caliper brackets (abutments) are 12455800 and 12455799. You'll need to order 2 of each. http://www.gmpartshouse.com/

You may want to order a second set of slider pins and caliper bracket bolts if you plan to switch back and forth often. You'll also want some high-temp grease to lube the slider pin in the new brackets. I believe the washer for the caliper bracket bolts is a second part number so be sure to ask for them, too.

Are you talking about the front or the rear?

Thanks

Both. Those '04 rotors you bought won't fit your car without the new brackets if you have a C6 Z51; not on the front, not on the rear.
