Looking for suggestions on the best "bang for the buck" rotor...

Looking for suggestions on a good looking, dimpled and slotted rotor that performs well on the street as well as some light track duty.

I am doing the C5 upgrade on the front soon, and would like some suggestions from those who know. I don't want to spend my money on something that will crack or warp the first time I hammer it hard.

Thanks!

I'd look for the Brembo blanks that have been slotted and cross drilled. Several companies out there do them.

I can check into that. Do you know if they are available dimpled from any company? I want the looks but I don't want the cracks.

Thanks.

I'm really not sure. *I* would go with the blanks, but I understand the bling factor too

PM bruecksteve. He has done the C5 conversion and has cross drilled/slotted rotors that are a GM part number. They are VERY inexpensive. I've also done the C5 conversion, but I wanted a plain rotor. My rotors were less than $20 each believe it or not, and they are GM rotors. Gotta love C5 rotor prices. You can see pictures of them in my webpage.

Try Tirerack and search for brakes for the Corvette:

Looks like both EBC and Power Slot makes slotted and "dimpled" rotors, to give the look of cross drilled. Not exactly cheap, but EBC and Power Slot are good brands. I think Power Slot uses Brembo blanks??

I did some research recently on this subject since I'm doing the LS1 upgrade soon. I'm going Baer because Tbyrne has a good deal on Baer Eradispeeds and Hawks. Else, I would have done the Pro Stop (Power Slot with dimples).

Good luck.
