I have a 2011 ZR1 and the front rotors are starting to delaminate on inside edges. Car has 25,000 miles on it. Any suggestions for a good source/reasonable price for rotors? Is it better to buy just rotors or complete rotor/hats? Thanks guys
Cheapest I have found is on rockauto.com, $1229 for front and $1535 for rear. You can always call Gene Culley at Cultrag peformance. That sucks about them being chipped on the back side. Probably previous owner or dealer may have dropped the wheel on them taking them off. Have to be careful pulling the wheels off the car. You can buy the foam carbon ceramic brake protectors if you don't have them.
I have these female threaded lug guide tools from Reverse Logic protect your caliper and rotors from being scratch while removing a wheel.
Yes. Pay to play. But for iron! These CC lose their surface as they lose weight. When they lose surface, there is less and less pad to rotor contact. And then you have less braking power. I lived it.....

what make a ZR1 a ZR1... first: supercharge engine second: carbon roof,hood and fenders third:carbon brake rotors I'll never put iron on mine.
I bought the car 2 months ago. Its never been tracked. The inside wear started happening almost right away, hence needing new front rotors. I will never go steel either.
While changing you should go with the updated version from 2012 Brembo add small threaded holes on the hat this allow them to put small balancing weight and finally get rid of the annoying vibration issue. see pic.

That tells me you don't track your car.
I used up $3k worth of front rotors and 3 sets of front pads in one season. Add to the brake fade I was experiencing that started mid season. Iron IS the way to go.
I noticed the same thing on my 11 ZR1 that I just picked up in March with 19k miles. It isn't as bad and its only on the driver side. I assumed someone banged it or dropped the rotor at some point. 2k miles later and it doesn't seem to be getting worse. I'm just going to continue monitoring it.

Also, this is not a permanent change to my ZR1.
you'r right my brakes have never seen a track not even a panic stop. Being a track car would be a different story and I guess I'll do like you.
