Break rotor and pad package
I was wondering if this was a good route to go for rotors and pads or if you guys had any better options. I have a 2000 model c5. Rotors may be salvageable. They mostly just have some sort of acid or etching that is white in color all over them. Looks like someone put an aggressive cleaner on them. Possibly can paint that part of the rotor.

Less of a tendency to crack along where the holes are drilled. If you drive the car normally and occasionally drive it like you stole it, then drilled are OK. If you run it hard a lot of the time and over heat the rotors, you may experience cracking. Many guys run them without ever having this happen. There is really no difference in the braking ability of the rotors either way. Good luck what ever you decide. Rod
