Default Z51 Blank Rotors

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find blank rotors for my dads '06 Z51 for use at track days, and I'm having trouble locating any, save for really expensive Brembo/StopTech etc rotors. Does anyone carry normal, cheap, blank rotors for the Z51? Thanks!

Yes http://www.raceconcepts.net 714-554-8223 has them.

I talked to them yesterday. They start with USA blanks and then machine and plate them to various specs. They also plate ours for $15 each. They will sell them any way you want. A set of 4 for std vette was $180 drilled, slotted and plated.

They said to get our rotor specs to make sure they match.

Does any one have the Z51/F55 diameter, width etc. specs handy?

"They said to get our rotor specs to make sure they match."

Sorry, but I don't like the sound of that. They sell rotors and don't have the specs for our car. Sounds fishy. I sure wouldn't want to be the first customer.

Here is one satisfied customer: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1776290

If I can get the spec to compare to theirs and it matches up I will try them at that price. I think the reason they wanted the specs is because I requested rotors for a F55 which I don't think they realize is the same as Z51.

I thought that the F55 rotors were the same diameter/style as the base suspension? The z51 rotors are 13.4" front and 13" rear I believe.

In 2007 F55 cars come with the Z51 brakes.
