Question for the tekkies
I have a big problem.
I have rotor envy. :o
On my new 07 Vert there are these tiny little dinky non drilled rotors, where the other one had the z51 pkg, nice big huge slotted rotors.
What can I put in to fill the hole? I do not think Z06 rotors will work. Do I have to change brackets and calipers too?

The drilled Z51 rotors will work fine on your C6. You will need the Z51 caliper brackets too. You can use your current calipers and brake pads.
Gene Culley sells a kit with everything you need to put the Z51 brakes on your car for about $600.

The only difference is the rotor diameter, so the bracket that holds the caliper must be changed to move it out.
Same calipers and pads, buy the other parts online and do the job yourself in less than 2 hours for all 4 wheels.
