"Big Brake" Technical Question ???

If all other parameters are correct (ie rim offset, wheels, quarters)...will the 06 Z06 Brakes be compatible with Baer Eradispeed + 1 rotors front & rear?

Experts, please step on up and thanks in advance.

I would assume that if the Eradispeed rotors are Z06 specific, then they'd fit with zero issues. But why not use the Z06 rotors?

Thanks for the reply Euro...the thought behind keeping the Baer are twofold: a. great rotors, b. I can purchase just the Z06 calipers and pads at a $$ savings.

Have to use Z06 rotors with Z06 pads.

I tried it, and Baer confirmed it.

Why couldn't you use a Z06 replacement rotor? Huge weight savings could be netted assuming there are some available.

Looks like these guys make a 2 piece Z06 replacement rotor.

I believe that Hardbar also makes a very nice Z06 rotor.

The problem I had was that I already has the non Z06 Baer rotors, so I didn't want to spend money for more rotors.

I hate the OE rotors because they rust.
