2 questions
Hello all,
I've recently noticed that my car has a slight miss at idle. Not a big deal, I'm figuring that I only need plugs and wires. I'm hoping for some recommendations on what brand to go with. Also, I'm looking to change out my brakes(terrible vibration from a warped rotor). I've been looking into the Baer Eradispeed setup, which looks good, but I believe that the C5 has a drum within the disk for the e-brake, maybe I'm wrong, but will their setup work w/ a stock brake setup? Or, if someone has another recommendation on something that'll work better, it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.

Re: 2 questions (mac1009)
About the miss at idle... have you checked the DIC for codes. A miss should throw a code. Make sure it really is a miss condition.
About the brakes, the Eradispeeds are very nice and will work as is with the stock setup. The rears have the e-brake hat built in. Baer also makes a lower cost alternative cross-drilled/slotted rotor that isn't quite as fancy, but costs about $100 less. I have these rotors on my coupe and have been very happy with them. One caution...cross drilled rotors are great for appearances, but not so great for the track. If you plan on serious racing or hard use, stick with solid rotors. Cross drilled rotors can crack under high temp situations. The Eradispeeds may hold up Ok under racing conditions (I haven't personally heard to the contrary), but normal cross drilleds will not.
Anyway, any aftermarket rotor advertised for the C5 will have the e-brake hat in the rears.
