Default Brake Upgade Question Regarding Rotor Choice

I am doing the C5 brake upgrade in the front with dura stop rotors. These rotors are cross drilled etc. How do i get rotors in the rear to match? Does GM make a 12'' durastop rotor?

Thanks in advance :steering:

Check around, I believe I have seen 12" slotted, not necessarily dura stop. It might have been in the ZIP catalogue

If I could make a suggestion :D

Think about installing the DRM proportioning spring, it will improve the rear braking action, slotted or drilled rotors probably won't.

You'll love the C5 conversion

Thanks for the advice on the bias spring. I will be adding one to the list of parts to purchase. Does anyone else have any advice on where and what brand of rotors to purchase to have matching front and rears with the c5 brake upgrade

Give Chris May a call at Superior Chevy, 800 728-8267.... He should have them at discount $$ for CF members.
