c6 Z51 Brake options
 

I have an 05' Z51 convertible that requires heavy duty brakes and am looking to replace my brake rotors. I have already purchased brembo pads. I was hoping to get wilwood or brembo, but found that they don't offer a rotor in heavy duty brakes for my car. Looking for other good options in a higher end drilled or slotted rotor that you've had success with.

Cheers

I like my Baer Eradispeed +2 ... most of the ads say they do not work with the J55/Z51 brakes, but they include the necessary brackets to make the rears work (the fronts don't need anything). They are two-piece, drilled and slotted, and do not rust. The rears also fill up the back wheels nicely ... Got mine from West Coast Corvettes (not particularly cheap, but I have always had very good luck with Baer products).

Good luck.

Look at PowerStop brakes. Just put a set of the z23 pads and rotors on and although they like a little heat, they are fantastic. Seem to be pretty low dust so far as well.

Thanks, I'll check out if I can source these somewhere local. I appreciate the responses

Dba rotors are heavy duty call Ken at KNS BRAKES.

Centric disk will be the most cost effective option. You can get drilled, slotted, or both with centric. DBA rotors are another option but will definitely cost more. I'm partial to DBA, but I've always been able to buy during a sale or find really good deals. I have about 70k miles on some Z51 fitment DBA4000 series rotors. I believe they have some slight warps in them now. I have a set of DBA XS4000 series rotors I got from KNS brakes about 6 months ago on sale so it will be interesting to compare them.
