Nice man!

I guess on these cars, a caliper upgrade isnt really worth the $$$ since the stock calipers are really good for what they are. I think i may just have to order some of these for mine...

I think they do make a difference, even if they are the same size as OEM. Just something about the way rust looks........ not appealing. Post some pic's when you get yours installed!

I agree. But you have to admit "Corvette" in white letters looks impressive!

Yes, Piece of cake! The only issue if you're just doing the rotors is the bleeder valves. If they haven't been used in a while it an be a pain to break them loose. I painted my calipers a little while back so this wasn't an issue this time. Took about an hour to change them out.

Looks really nice. It sure does clean up the wheel area especially with the rotors being zinc coated.

Quick question: Shouldn't the slots be pointing the other direction?

You may be right, I don't know to honest. The fronts were marked right and left. I checked the center cooling fins to make sure they like the OEM. And they were the way the rotors were marked. I just assumed that was from the drivers view. There I go again assuming........Maybe someone else can chime in on this. I can't see how it would matter really. Perhaps it differs from manufacture to manufacture.

It could possibly vary as per manufacturer. I'm ready to install a set on mine and this is how I've been told to install them.
