Rotors..post up pictures!
I'm in the market for rotors, and many of the websites only offer generic pictures, not pictures of the actual rotors for the C5. I would appreciate it if Forum members could post pictures of the various brands available, such as Stoptech, Baer, Powerslot, DBA, etc. on your car.

I don't remember where I bought these, but they weren't expensive at all and work great so far. They look a lot better than the rusty stock rotors I replaced.

I'm using Girodisc (A1-009 & A2-009): Self centering radial float mount rotors with 6061-T6 aluminum hats and cast iron curved vane / slotted discs (attached using cadmium plated alloy steel drive pins with grade 12 cap screws and hardened anti-noise spring washers). For pads: Federal-Mogul Ferodo Racing DS2500s (0.50 coefficient of friction at all temperatures) and braided lines.
Considering I run this car on both street and strip (she runs a 9 second / 145 mph qtr), these were my choice as they fit inside a CCW drag pack, are light weight (hard to find 2-piece rears in a stock size) and, most importantly, they stop the car better than any other combo of rotors and pads I've tried.

They have a web site you can check out at: http://www.girodisc.com/ -- I think it will depends on your make, year, model, etc., and what rotors you select, which is why I provided the part numbers that I ordered for my '03 coupe.
I am sure they are far from the cheapest. But, I wanted lighter two-piece front & rears that would fit inside a CCW drag pack and retain my parking brake, while effectively stopping the car from high speed on a drag strip. At the same time, they needed to work perfectly for street driving.

The picture looks a little dull compared to real life. They really look nice in person.

Bear Eradispeed Front and Rear Rotors. 2 Piece rotors - Aluminum centers.
Front 13.35" (stock is 12.75")
Rear 14" (stock is 12")
They are just a pinch "lighter" than stock.
The rear 14" will even fit behind the stock 18" rim. You will have to get the 12.75" 2 piece Bear rotor for the front 17" rims though. The 13.35" will not fit behind the 17" stock rim.
