This is a little late but I will respnd anyway. The Durastop rotors 88926731 and 88926732 are best used for street appilications where there is a chance of less heat build-up. If they get a lot of heat in them, they will possibly crack starting on the outer diameter at the cross drilled hole nearest the outer diameter. The crack will continue to the slot then follow the slot then go through the cross drilled hole nearest to the inner diameter. I am not familar with the other part numbers you mention.
Photos shortly.

I can not post photos as I am not a 'supporting member' yet. I have 3 of them showing the cracks. E-mail me via redvette100@hotmail.com.

got them and like them. Since mine C5 is not a race car....not sure if they are much better than stock rotors...but sure look better.
Only downside is they are not plated or coated...and will rust.
I sprayed mine with VHT Clear and they are fine....even if it took some work to cover with the clear coat material.
