Long term Baer rotor comments?
My Z06 front brakes are starting to develop the dreaded pulsation/warped rotor symptoms. I've had my eye on the two piece Baer Eradispeed rotors for a long time. Does anyone have any long term use comments to make before I spend the extra cash? Thanks

Have you tired taking the car up to 60 then braking hard, repeat once more. let cool then takin it up to 60 again and braking hard. Just hard enough to not let the abs kick in. This usually works for me. I dont use brakes much around town adn i get this warped rotor feeling. Thats when i just do that brake bedding procedure and it goes away.

I purchased my '02 Z06 with Baer Eradispeed front and rear rotors. They are cross-drilled and slotted, and two pieces. A lot of people will comment and say that they do not increase performance and are merely a cosmetic item and that you shouldn't track your car with these rotors. I do not have any experience with stock rotors other than the one time I tracked my car. I installed Napa rotors on the fronts prior to tracking. Hard to tell a difference, but that may just be me. I do have some hairline fractures near the cross-drilled holes as you can see here:
This is the main reason that I did not use them on the track, but afterwards I did put them back on the car. Could be a bad decision in the long run, but live and learn.
Overall, I really enjoy having them on my car and love the look. Match these up with some ceramic pads and you're golden! Hope this helps and good luck with your decision.

They will probably last just as long as your Z06 rotors for street driving. But do a lot of spirted driving or track days and they will crack for sure. Faster then your Z06 rotors would.
Get them for looks only. Not for performance.
