eradispeeds or powerslots?

I'm going to buy new rotors for my car & wondered if eradispeeds were worth extra $ over powerslots?

The only advantage Eradispeeds bring to the table is that they are pretty

Eradispeeds are also lighter.

I have done a few sets of Eradispeeds on several differenet cars. They are really pretty, and are a little lighter weight than a standard rotor. In all honesty, don't expect any improvement in braking performance from either Power Slots or Eradispeeds.

I was also debating on using the Eradispeeds or Power Slots. I ultimately went with Thunder Racing's brake upgrade kit. It come with all four PowerSlot rotors, Hawk brake pads and Earl's braided lines ... plus two bottles of GM brake fluid. This setup is great, and I can actually feel the difference from the OEM setup I previously had. You'd be hard pressed to beat this kit, it goes for $590. Very much worth it, IMHO.

Or if you have 17" wheels you can get the LG Motorsport G-Stop kit with Z06 calipers. That is what I have on my car, but I don't have photos yet. For about the same price as Eradispeeds, you get a pair of massive front rotors that are 1" larger diameter than the stockers, and are drilled/slotted. They also come with brackets to offset the caliper out farther to accomodate for the larger rotors. The Z06 calipers are optional, and are a little more work to install but will provide a stopping improvement and look killer. This does not replace your rear rotors though.

I didn't think you could use the vette's rotors without the vette's calipers as well. Will the stock LS1 calipers accept a 13 inch rotor?

I dont think they will accept at 13 incher. The calipers wont allow it. At least tats what I think. I think baer makes a +1 inch rotor for most cars.
