Best bet is to contact one of the vendors selling the Baer line. I had a set of Baer one piece rotors on my '00 (non-Z51) and loved them.

There's no differences in any of the C5 rotors. All C5's had the same rotor sizes no matter what suspension option you have.

Baer eradispeeds, 2-piece front and 1-piece rears. I also have the Z51 option. These only come as slotted and drilled though. Other companys do offer a slotted rotor. I think VBP makes them (aka vette brakes products). Also a brand called powerslot.

The references to Baer rotors not fitting a Z51 equipped car are references to C6 Z51. The Z51 package on the C6 has different brakes, not so on the C5.

You should also consider PowerSlot rotors. I have the Cryo-treated versions that I bought from tirerack.com and fully expect that I will never have to buy replacement rotors, again.
