Default Anybody released slotted rotors for base C7 yet?

Has anyone released slotted rotors for the base C7 yet? Something the same size so that it would be a direct swap. I am looking to change rotors to slotted and then compliment them with some race pads soon..

I thought the calipers are the same for both non-Z51 and Z51 but the rotors/pads are different. If this is the case, could you swap in Z51 rotors or comparable to a non-Z51 setup? Or am I missing something?

Calipers are the same brembo's BUT..... They have different mount points to compensate for the larger Z51 rotors. You cannot swap them between the Z51 and Non Z51 cars..(unless you make the appropriate rotor changes)

Base: small rotors
Z51: 1" Larger rotors

Calipers must be for the specific model due to the mounting (which is part of the Caliper body casting)

Correct. So circling back does anyone know of some slotted rotors that will fit the base model specifically yet?
