Default C6 Z51 Rotor -> Base

Exactly what part(s) do I need to convert back to NAPA rotors? Thanks!

To confirm, you want to go from Z51 rotors to base rotors?

If that is the case, you will simply need the base brackets and the rotors. I am changing to Z51 if you are interested in my base. Rotors have about 8000 miles.

Depending on how lazy I am, I'll just be swapping for track days since I'll need to swap pads anyway.

Happen to know the part number(s) for the base brackets? I guess the base rotors are cheapest by buying the C5 rotors from NAPA. :-)

Have you checked Fred Beans? They have been very good on the items that I have ordered. Not sure how they'll compare to NAPA.

Well, NAPA rotors are supposed to be $25. I'm sure stock base rotors are much more than that. What I really want to know is the part number for the bracket that locates the caliper so I can use the smaller (and much cheaper and easily found) rotors... I was hoping to not bug the FredBeans guys and to just order it via their website with the part number.

Many thanks to Gene for the e-mail response he sent me. http://www.fredbeansgmparts.com/ has them for $32.93/ea.

NAPA says LF rotor is UP86701, RF is UP86700. $27.99/ea
LR is UP86702, RR is UP86703. $28.49/ea
