Default Brake Change time need advice PLS

Which one should i go for. I dont race much but i brake alot as i love to accelerate when ever i get a chance.

Baer EradiPlus kit for the C5/Z06 $1,099.00
The kit consists of 12.75 two piece front rotors (stock size) and 14' two piece rear rotors (plus size). This kit is a direct replacement and will work with any C5/Z06 Corvette with stock wheels. A fitment check is recommended with aftermarket wheels. EradiSpeed rotors come standard with slotted, cross-drilled and zinc washed surfaces that deliver brilliant race quality function and appearance.

Baer Eradispeed Rotor Set $749.00
Baer is proud to introduce their new line of EradiSpeed™ direct OE replacement performance rotors. Featuring LITE™ (Low Inertia / Thermally Efficient) Technology, EradiSpeed™ rotors feature lightweight aluminum hats, or Baer's exclusive (patent pending) hat/hub combinations, and employ severe duty, curved, directional vane (vented), slotted, crossdrilled and zinc washed rotors, for brilliant, race quality, function, and appearance. These are the World's first direct OE replacement rotors to deliver real and measurable performance gains. By eliminating the weight at the center of the stock iron rotor, Baer is able to cast the new rotor with more mass in the "fire path", where the pads contact the rotor, allowing substantially more heat to be absorbed into the rotor. Balancing and heat-treating, coupled with the increased pumping efficiency of directional vanes (vents), ensure that EradiSpeed™ rotors deliver substantial performance benefits. Something that OE or cosmetically altered OE rotors simply can't do. Note: Fronts are a two
piece design. Rears are a one piece design.

I want Baer bec of the anti warpage warranty. So any suggestions.
and is this the best price or can i find a better price? and how much will the brake pads cost and what kind of brake pads should i get with these ?

Thanx alot guys for your input.

I went with the less $$$$ one. The thing that bothered me about the other kit was the rear rotors were almost too big. The brake pad only uses about half of the rotor depth for braking. I guess it boils down to your personal taste. :confused: :confused: :confused:

You might want to look at the LG Motorsports package before you decide. They have a front brake package with six piston Wildwood billet calipers and slotted etc. Bolts right on to most C5's.

:chevy If you are NOT racing... the Stock Brakes should be adaquate. The 2002 Z06 pads are a major improvement over 2001's. I use these on Hi-speed tracks with-out any fade. They do wear quickly thougth!

:D: Oh, and most magizines have shown the Z06 to have the "shortest Stopping Distance" from 60 to ZERO of the cars tested in 2002. That does include testing Turbo Porsches....lolol
