Default repalcing brake pads and rotors

i am looking to replace my pads and rotors on my collectors edition....and i was wondering how to determine what size rotors to use??

in all of my catalogs (mid america, ecklers, zip, and corvette central) they list 12" and then the 13" heavy duty!!

is there any difference other than the obvious??

thanks

All 1996 'vettes use the 13 inch HD front rotors. They are directional with a unique left and right side.

Cheers,

Lawrence

Default On a 1996....

1996 had 13" hd's on the front and 12" on the rear. If you hadn't done the job before, go to www.autozone.com and log in as a C-4 1996 and they have a step by step "how to". Thats what I did.

Don't the CE rotors have a black center section?
