Default Another newbie question

I was showing my newly acquired 2001 pewter/black convertible to a corvette fan today and he said I had special brakes. Before I could ask the details he was gone. Do I have other than stock brakes? I can't seem to make the photos any bigger.....

What you have are OEM stock calipers with cross drilled discs which are definitely not stock. They may be OEM GM but were not stock on any C5. Apart from looking good, they do not offer any performance advantage. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

No C5 came factory equipped with drilled rotors. PO must have installed them.

Thank you for the info. I am still trying to figure out photobucket.... Here is a bigger picture. Maybe someone can identify them.

Like said above, the rotors are aftermarket, but the calipers are factory issue.

Nice looking rotors - hard to say for sure what brand, but they look a lot like the Baer Eradispeeds I had on my '00.
