C5 Rotors
Has anyone used a set of TRINET rotors on a C5? We are doing brakes on a car and have thought of using a set of their slotted rotors.Some feedback would help. Thanks in advance.

Who sells them? I really like slotted rotors for the following reasons:
* Unidirectional slotting increases pad bite, reduces fade, and delivers exceptional braking performance.
* Slots continually de-glaze the brake pads, improving efficiency and reducing rotor scoring.
* Slots even out wear across the pad faces, increasing the effectivecontact area and extending rotor life.
* Slots help dissipate water when driving in poor weather, as well as pump away dust or dirt.
* Slotting also combats "out-gassing", where gas from the pad can form a cushion between pad and rotor, greatly reducing braking power.
As you can see, slots are not "bling" at all; they enhance performance and prevent the dreaded "pulsating pedal" that occurs when pad deposits adhere to a plain rotor face, unevenly. For street driving, slotted rotors make for an excellent choice. I have over 10,000 miles of aggressive street driving on my PowerSlot rotors and there is plenty of pad material left for many more years of driving.

Trinet Rotors
Guys, I was looking on ebay for vette parts ,when I ran across Trinet.They make rotors for everything imaginable. Price for a set of 4 is about $160.00 if I remember correctly. Best part is you don't have to buy drilled, they have both. Just wanted to see if anybody has good words about them. Lets see. Thanks again.

Trinet Rotors
I think my main concern here was if the rotors are made in China.Theres just something about Chinese steel and stopping a vette on the track and road that has me concerned.The price is secondary in the big picture . I'll probably look elsewhere since I have have a feeling these are not the quality I could trust. Thanks everybody for input.

I bought some on ebay that were cast in Canada, cross drilled, slotted, and zinc dipped in the LA area here in Calif. I run ceramic pads. It's all good so far. If you race, go for the high dollar stuff. I can get you the name.

I bought mine a couple months ago, as earlier stated from RACECONCEPTS. They have a set for C5 listed on Ebay now, item # 180095082074. I like mine and have driven in the mountains and flats, so far so good. They have a phone number listed so give them a call. If you want to race alot then I would buy the high dollar ones.
