I use Porterfield's, and I take the car to the track (road courses). http://www.porterfield-brakes.com, and I think they are great. They run around $90 per rotor.

Or for $499 you can get a set of DBA drilled and slotted, (DBA makes Baer's also) from LG Motorsports.
It all depends on what you are looking for
Below is Jeremy's Z06 with the DBA's on his car.
Thanks LG

Part number 56700 - 56703 .
$18.32 and $18.72 each.
Also available from NAPA at about $23.00 each under part 86700 - 86703.
I used them all season at the track and they are still in great shape. They are Raybestos professional grade. IMO you can pay a LOT more for a rotor but I don't think you can get a much better rotor than this.

In my opinion your brakes are one of the most important safety components on your car. People spend thousands to make their car go fast but forget or decide that the brakes aren't that big of an issue. :confused: :confused:
Take it for what it is worth but I wouldn't skimp when it came to my brakes.

It's my opinion, after running the $19.00 Raybestos professional rotors for entire summer with lots of track time, that they are equal to or exceed the Corvette OEM rotors made in Brazil. The Raybestos are made in the U.S.A. at an ISO 9002 plant. I don't think that is skimping.

Read again please! I didn't say price had to do with anything. I said I wouldn't go buying rotors just because they were the cheapest.

Why is the right rear rotor more expensive? Just curious.
Because the emergency brake is housed under the raised hub of the right rear rotor. My guess anyway.
