I should have mentioned that the Raybestos rotors I have on my 87 are the "Advanced Technology" versions. These rotors have the internal cooling vanes angled just like the GM stock C5 rotors. This means they will be marked "left' and "right". The rotor hats and outside edges of the rotors are also painted.
The "Professional Grade" rotors have the fins pointed directly out from the center. The hats on these are not painted (not a big deal as it's easy to paint the hats and the edges of the rotor.While either one will be fine for street use or "spirited" street driving, having the vanes angled does help to pass air through more efficiently.

Did a search and came up with this :
Raybestos :
Brake - Brake Rotor-High Performance, Front
Descripción Número de Pieza
Brake Rotor
Advanced Technology Performance; Left 5001PL
Brake Rotor
Advanced Technology Performance; Right 5001PR
Brake - Brake Rotor-High Performance, Rear
Brake Rotor

I got mine from www.autoanything.com. It looks like the price has gone up. The ones I got are now $400 for a whole set.

Burning Brakes
They look to be the correct parts. The ones for my 91 are different but more expensive by 30 bucks each. Mine are 12 inches in diameter. Yours are 11.5. There must have been a change between our years. Going by the part numbers in the RockAuto site, it looks like they changed in 1988.
70 a piece for those seems like a good deal to me. It will be higher with shipping though.

I suggest that you call the tech support at RAYBESTOS, great guys to deal with. The guy I talked to have a 92 C4 and use the cheap rotors for the solo events and throw them in the garbage when their done. Of course he probably get them for dirt cheap.
Is recommandation were to get the Advance series, they use the OE specs to built them but still all made in China using their Quality Control what it's worth...?
I got the OEM units from Corvette recycling 150$ for all wheels in the AC Delco boxes ship to my door. It almost as much for the shipping then to buy them!
