Default What Size?

What size brakes came on the 1996 Corvette? I see the HD option for this Vette and that Vette. I could not find an RPO code to correspond for either brake system on my 1996.

Some help would be appreciated, as I want to replace the front rotors and front brake lines.

In '95 the HD or J55 brakes became standard on all models. Hence all of these cars have the 13" front brakes.

Default Cheapest place to buy good rotors?

I am looking for the dimpled and slotted rotors like the Power Slots. Any ideas where to find the best price for the fronts?

Since I have the C5 Wagon Wheels on my C4, I want the rotors to look as good as the rest of the car.

Thanks in advance!
Kenny

You can try eBay, but just stay away from most of the drilled/slotted stuff they have on there. Also make sure you get rotors that have a zinc coating on them so they wont rust in the areas where the pad doesn't contact them.
