Default Can someone ID these please

I bought the car used and assumed these were the stock rotors. I have been asked about them twice now and told they were not.

Non-stock rotors and tires. Looks like a nice two-piece rotor, though, unless that's a fake "hat". Possibly larger than stock dia. but I can't tell from the pic.

They appear to be two piece rotors from the fasteners around the perimeter of the "hat"...possibly BAER "Eradispeed" (Plus one or Plus two), or the GT (or GT Plus) Brake System?

Cheap junk. It's cheaper to manufacture them in two pieces and bolt them together. But I'll be a pal and trade you straight up for my high quality one piece rotors from NAPA. Just 'cus I'm a nice guy.

Now I wonder what else has been done. I have had 2 z owners ride in my car and say it feels faster than thiers. I just thought it was my expert driving.

They are the eradispeed plus two rotors. The rear in your picture is a 14" rotor. Are the front rotors the same type? You should be glad the car came with them since they are an expensive street brake upgrade. They won't make the car stop shorter, but they hold up better to high temps since they have more mass and are made of much better steel than stock. They look cool too and won't drip rust crap in your wheels.

It also looks like your Corvette emblem is upside down.

It has the same on the front too. Its odd to me that someone would do that sort of upgrade and leave the rest of the car unmolested. It even had the paper air filter in place when I bought it. The car does seem to run unusually quick for something totally stock. Maybe some parts were taken off when the car was sold.

Well you figure brake rotors always need to be changed out so why not upgrade?

Anyway I know it "looks the same" but to the trained eye most people do it because it looks "a hell of a lot better". So yeah if you posted a pic of the side of the car I could see what it looks like and maybe I would buy them for my Z06 too

GM makes a rotor that looks EXACTLY like this. They are cheap compared to others on the market. I had them on my 04. Not near as good as stock in my opinion. Not saying that's what these are, just saying thay look exactly the same.

sorry. no link or any proof. just my 2 cents. also, if they were indeed the baers in the pic, then why do his have three holes per line and the ones in the pic have four? not being rude, just saying i had these and they were made by a knockoff company. i thought it was gm, but maybe i'm wrong.

either way MINE were not near as good as stock. they sure looked cool though!
