Default Two piece rotors

Anyone interested in a two piece rotor front and rear that is bolt on with stock calipers and allows use of your factory emergency brake?

They are a joint project that I have been working on for years, everything is made in the USA and the rotors are custom built by Coleman.
As far as I know, they are also the only ones that can use the factory rear calipers mounted in the stock location and still use the park brake. They are 12" just like the stock rotors. $799 for the set.

Are they lighter than the stock ones? If yes how much.

I would be interested... I just bought the eradispeed fronts but did not want to go larger in the rear. They dont offer the rear in a stock size, so I just did the front for now..

Yes, they are lighter than stock. We will be having a press release on them soon. We are the only ones that will have the stock sized in two piece until these are copied. They are 6061 T6 aluminum hats that are hard anodized, Coleman racing rotors and Mil Spec NAS fasteners. The price for the pair is $799 and they are slotted but not drilled. I have these for all applications for C5 and C6 including the ZO6. Stay tuned to the website as they will be on there any day and like I said we will have a press release on them soon. If anyone is in the Mechanicsville area stop by and see them, they are on the shelf.
Thanks

Will you offer anything for the C6Z06 brake system? I have the C6Z06 brakes installed on my C5Z06 and would really like some two-piece slotted rotors. Let me know.

EDIT: I just found them on your site. Will you offer a two-piece rear design which will work with the factory emergency brake (C6Z rotors)? Even a single piece C6Z rear slotted rotor that would match the two-piece fronts would be cool.

Thanks,

You may never see two piece rotors for a C6Z brake.The way the caliber hugs around the rotor/hub no one is making it. I was just on the phone with Baer they said

I HAVE TWO PIECE ROTORS FOR A C6ZO6, I am holding them in my hand right now and yes they have provisions for the parking brake. Actually they were easier then the C5 because the C5/6 has a smaller diameter rear rotor then the ZO6. Like in the original post, nobody else makes these. I will go weigh the C5/6 right now, I don't have an original ZO6 one to weigh but I will get the weight off them.

Okay just weighed them, the stock rotor is 14lbs, the new two piece is 10.5 lbs so you save 3.5 lbs on each rotor. That is the rear rotor with parking brake assembly. If you need lighter we have a race version also that does not have provisions for the park brake and you will save another pound.

What is the weight savings on the fronts(C5)?

The front does not have as much savings for several reasons, one there is allot of cast iron in the park brake drum that the front does not have and we run a HD rotor on the front and rear, but our rotors are a little heavier than some. The front is only going to save you 1.5 pounds each so you would remove 3 lbs of unsprung weight. The picture is of the the C6ZO6 rear setup.[IMG][/IMG]
