Default 2007 Z06 Rotor Question

Guys:
Apologize for asking a 'newbie' question but I guess everyone has to start somewhere...

What is the rotor size or part numbers for the NAPA rotors that I should get to fit the '06/'07 Z06? I tried to do a search on this and am sure it's buried somewhere but was unable to find my answer

Also, am I correct in assuming that this is relatively simple thing to do yourself? I haven't done it before so anything in particular to keep in mind? I've read a couple of the other threads on changing rotors and it seems relatively straight forward. So I'm encouraged that I can do this myself without having to take it somewhere everytime to do it.

Thanks.

I don't think you're going to find non-GM vendors selling OEM C6Z06 rotors yet (if ever).

If I ever get a C6Z06 I'll probably change out the front brakes anyway.

Have a good one,
Mike

Just to clarify, I'm looking for recommended rotors for HPDEs. In the C5 sticky the part numbers for the NAPA rotors are 86700, 86701, 86702, 86703. Are these the same ones for the Z06 or are there different ones?

Thanks

The C5 rotors ate 12.9" Diameter. C6 are 14".

The stock rotors and calipers are the worst part of the otherwise fantastic car. The rotors are 26 pounds each, have the worse than worthless holes that eat your thin expensive pads, and are only left sides. We offer an alternative that are 16 pounds each, heat treated and balanced, made in USA, and work with the stock calipers or the new PFc zr33 Grand-Am caliper.
Stock wheels, stock caliper, new rotor:


PFC zR33 caliper with new rotors (they fit the stock wheels too)

If your looking for rotors other than stock Livernois Motorsports also has Brembo rotors availible, pricing is listed as **Call** but here is the link.

http://www.livermoreperformance.com/...ke_rotors.html

Just another option, they also have a listing for DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) who I think make the rotors for the C6 Z not sure if they could find some non-drilled rotors or not, they don't have them listed but that doesn't mean they dont exist.

Although I'm guessing your not going to find a better deal on rotors than Gary at Hardbar!
