Talking Z06 Brake Conversion

Hello All,
I have recently purchased the Z06 Conversion kit and brackets from Bob Bishop/Nashville Speed. I havn't ordered the rotors yet, should I order aftermarket rotors and pads, or stick with the stock. The price difference is hugh, just want to see what you all think about it.

Thanks in advance.

I have had good luck with AutoZone rotors. I have had bad luck with aftermarket "performance" rotors cracking on the road course. I have been told that OEM C5 rotors aren't much more than the AZ rotors, but have not priced them. So unless you are looking for some bling-bling drilled, slotted rotors, I would suggest AZ or OEM.

Talking Thanks for your feedback

Thanks for your feedback, the stock OEM rotors at $48.88. I was looking at the OEM or the G2 GStop rotors

Thanks again,

I am using the G-Stop rotors for street use, and they work and look great. But I have seen more than 1 crack after a day or two in a road course, and would not use them for track use. My AZ rotors have 5 track days so far and are still going strong.
