[Jim 2001]

Can anyone suggest then cheapest and best place to buy these items. c5 Z06 drilled rotors, and z06 red calipers?

Jim,
I got a good price at Bryners for the rotors.

The cheapest place to get red rotors is WalMart. Buy a small can of Rustoleum Sunrise Red Gloss paint and paint your rotors yourself.

Will cost you under $4

There is absolutley no difference between your rotors and a Z06's rotors.

This is what my C5 rotors look like after painting them with Rustoleum.

Glenn, they look great! You're right. Why pay a bunch of loot when you can do them yourself. ;bt I saw one guy at Englishtown who painted his the same color as his car. Looked pretty good.

For drilled rotors, I had Baer Eradispeed rotors on my C5's, never had a problem. Try http://www.tbyrnemotorsports.com/ , as said you can paint the calipers yourself very cheap, or you can get a set of calipers at Bryner and then sell yours. :)

Thanks for the replies!!

In the spring I painted my rotors the same color as my car, and was just ok with the result. I see there are a bunch of rotors on ebay, would this be a good way to go?

Glenn how did you get the white on the letters to come out so sharp? I tried but was not sucessful;ae

Jim,
Not sure how Glenn got his lettering to look as sharp as it does;bt, but there are decals available on ebay that come up when you search for c5 or z06 calipers. That is an option.....

To get the letters sharp you paint over them and then use ultra fine emery cloth to sand off the paint on the letters.

I found the rotors, brakes, and pads. All gm products for 600.00 on Ebay seems way to cheap!!!

Have you looked closely at your calipers?

The CORVETTE letters are raised. Just clean them off with fine sand paper and they'll look shiny and new... You can even paint right over them, then sand the paint off the raised letters.
