Default C6 2pc Rotors

Does anyone make 2pc rear rotors in OEM specs...not the 14" ones? I can only seem to find the 1pc rear rotors that are 12.75". I think it would look weird having 2pc front rotors and 1 pc rear rotors...

Baer Eradispeed sounds like what you want. Ordering my 2piece rotors today, but in Z51 size.

I found most 2piece Baer rotors to be in mid $500 range for just front.

Default 2 peice baer eradispeed

I have a set of slightley used Eradispeeds (4) slotted and plated (no holes) just removed to trade car. The 14's fill up the annemic stock space in the rear wheels. Its the only way to go, They look great. PM me if your interested in the set. TWP ( Note to unlookers; Do something usefull with your life and badger your ma w/the bs, and not with "dont ya-no theres a parts section") By the way I will be listing these and some Z parts off this car soon.

Default Wheel thing

MIRoch; I'm not trying to sell rotors here, thell go no problem. But you may be inadvertingly mis informed. If you are going to some 17in. old type wheel, or doing something really strange new, again I say "somethings wrong" (I'm just trying to help here,being the tire and wheel expert that I am) All 19in. OEM and aftermarket wheels for a C6 vette will acept Bear Eradispeed 14.5in. 2 peice rotors. Your not going to find another by the way. I think somehow your wheel guy herd 14+ and *** umed you ment ZO6 callipers and rotors. Most aftermarket wheels will not clear the Z callipers. Do yourself a favor and research this with Baer Techs.There easy to talk to and they know.You may otherwise miss an oppertunity to have the greatest looking, Top quality S...! "Baers" (not mine, go by'em new) You will be glad once you have them. (If you find I'am not the wheelspert and I'm a d...b **********) buy different wheels, your not on the paa th! TWP

Yes, they come with the brackets for the rears, but the fronts are Z51.

I have drilled & slotted Baer Eradispeed front & rear on my 05 Z51 now. The fronts are starting to crack around the drill holes. The rears are great. I would be interested in your slotted only Eradispeed 2 piece front rotors only. E mail me a price and photo.
Are there any cracks in your front rotors?

Gary, what do you attribute the cracking to? Long hot days at the track?

When I had Erad's on my C5 Z, I also noticed cracking from the drilled holes after about 3K miles.

No track time, just street duty.

Yes , on the track days. 14 days to be exact. They are great rotors to put up with every track on the east coast from The Glen to Road Atlanta. I have a few track events left in them but I am looking to change the fronts out soon. The cracks are not out of control yet.
I sent photos to Baer and they said it was normal cracks.
How do you like your coilovers?

I did and and sent Baer photos of my rotors. They said my rotor cracking was within limits. The limits are the same as GM sets for the Z51 drilled rotors.
I do not know about the warranty being honored for track use.
Do you have that in writing? I would love to see that.

gary@grbowler.com
Thanks. The coilovers definitely took getting used to. I live in a beach town with rough streets; had to adjust the camber a couple times to get that sweet spot between what I can live with as far as roughness and what I want to keep as far as response and control.

On the open road they really make a huge difference. I also switched to Z51 sway bars and lowered the car 1" rear, 1/2" front. No longer am I fighting the car in tight turns at speed. It's like I'm on a rail now.
