Default C4 -c6z06 Rotors

good morning folks,
I hace a c4 suspension with c5 calipers via conversion mounting bracket. is it possible i fit the c6 z06 rotors? ive ben reading they are interchangeable on some posts and they are not on others. I dont race and would really like the largest DIA. Front rotor possible that a c5 fron caliper would allow. also im looking for drilled only not slotted. the more holes the better


any insight fellas. and ladies?

You willing to go way UP in wheel size and the style?

'cause your C5 13" rotors are as big as you can stuff inside a 17" or 18" wheel...most styles. The larger C6 multi-piston caliper is the same as more rotor..more contact area. You;ll never know the difference though...if it even gets close to lock-up by too much slowing too quickly...ABS takes over.
Folks forget that the ABS computer has the final say in how fast the car stops...

drilled rotors promote stress cracks. i went to a 'slotted only' rotor.

yes i plan on at least 20" wheels. (let the comments begin lol) the car is not a corvette only shares chasis engineering and suspension.
i dont plan on racing tracking or anything like that so i should be good with a set of quality driolled only rotors correct? after all thats what came stock on the c6 z06.

so to be clear a simple rotor swap will do? great now where is a source for these rotors for a good price.
