Front Calipers to Rear-Need 13" Rotor to Work E-Brake
Please help me, I'm trying to find the correct rotor (13") to mount on my rear to still keep my E-Brake functional. Does anybody have this information? Rear rotors for a late model Silverado came close but were 2mm to small on the inside diameter of the "hat". I have a challenge from a CF Vendor that if I can supply the correct vehicle rotor to accomodate the swap that they will supply me a set of 4 new drilled/slotted/cryoed rotors for free so I can do my install. In addition they will sell this as a set for others that would like the front calipers that say "Corvette" at all 4 corners. Any help will be much appreciated

Call Wilwood they have it already. The vendor should do the research themselves as they want to sell them all and hand you 4 rotors. They should atleast install them for you.

I'm new to this section and do not know yet who Porterfield is. Can you provide link?
They did some research but could not find the rotor match....man, I would be happy with 4 free rotors if all I have to do is post and ask a question
Just purchased an 02 ZO6 for track car and have some calipers from my C5 coupe lying around that I thought I could put to good use. For now I will be driving the car to events and as funds become available I hope to purchase a trailor. I did the "Spring Mountain" test before I purchased the car just to make sure I felt the excitement,......It is definetely there
Thanks for the info guys

I've been told that although people have thought that in the past, it actually works quite well. Randy at DRM told me that they have experience with non E-Brake rotors on the rear and the system worked fine. He said the pedal travel increased slightly but not enough to bother you. Maybe he will chime in here and give us some insight about his experience. I hope I can find time today to talk to some people to give me a conclusive answer
The pedal will be longer with front rotors on the back. I have 13" rotors on the rear and bias is no problem but I have a SL4 from Wilwwod on the rear so piston volume is the same as stock. LG had front calipers on the rear and said it was a longer pedal. Racerafter likes front on rear.
