$275 a piece? A little pricey. Is that for the standard or Z51 size? For a little more, you can get a quality two piece rotor and save some weight.

You can buy a full set of Baer Eradispeeds for 999.00 or less. They are two piece, standard front with 14" rear rotor(looks cool) drilled, slotted, and zinc coated. Also have a limited lifetime replacement warranty if they warp. By adding the larger rear rotor you give up any weigh savings( this combo is the exact weight of the stock system according to Bear) but they sure look cool.

Hi silverspeed, I put these on my base C6 and I thought they were the best mod I have done. The rear wheels had a special bracket for the calipers. I am thinking of trading for a Z51. Will the rotors work with new car. Does the Z51 not require the rear rotor brackets? thanks,blacktop

To be quite honest......I don't know for sure. I have the base suspension. I DO know that they have a different part number for the Z51, so I don't think they will work. You can go to Baer's website and send them an email to ask. They are pretty good about getting back to you. Here is the website:
