Not trying to flame, but is there a reason why you guy's didn't get one w/ Z51 if you like the cross drilled look?

2. I DID NOT want Z51 tires - I wanted something that would last longer than 8-10K miles.
3. I DID NOT want Z51 rotors that were left side rotors on both sides of the car.
Let's face it - drilled rotors are for bling only. Modern race cars mostly use solid rotors. I got the Baer EradiSpeeds as a cosmetic mod, but at least I got the drill and slot patterns and the internal vanes correct for the side of the car they are mounted on.

I don't see it on your car beezeye but I'm sure if you click on the first link in offshore's post you'll clearly see that the rotors are on backward. What's the deal? Why would you spend the cash on aftermarket brakes and get in the same situation as us stock Z51 owners?

The hole pattern, the slots, and the internal vanes of the Baer EradiSpeed rotors are engineered to function when installed just like you see them installed on both of our cars.

I may be crazy, but I don't think there's a big gain in adding these rotors over the stock ones, and $1500 seems like a lot for this cosmetic change. I would do other changes like a Corsa sport, Z51 sway bars, and Vortex ram air before that change, but that's just me
