i just did the c6 z51 upgrade. i havent posted a thread on them yet, but they're a nice set of rotors for not much money. here's some early pics.

the biggest difference is the size of the old rears vs. the new ones:


new front & rear:


new and old fronts:


new front and old F&R:

I just did Brembo rotors on all four wheels. I got just the slotted, you will have to do your homework on which combination you think is best.

Sportbrakes are one option (less expensive) or you can go with something like the Baer Eradispeeds (more expensive).

If you are going to do track events, you might want to reconsider the drilled rotors. Do a search, there is a lot of info regarding this.

Well, I'm sure you won't hear many people on here that have these...but I do and really like them. Here's the link and they're the 3rd down Brutestop. Made in the USA and affordable. I'm very happy with them.

I found them at an A-Line auto parts store, I believe that Auto Zone and similar places can also order them.

I believe you have to have a certain size tire to run the C6 Z51 rotors but not 100% sure what size that is.

I went with the StopTech rotors, they look great and are working really well so far.

if you're referring to the c6 z51 rotors, you DO need the new caliper mounting brackets to go with them.
