What is a good blank C5 rotor and what color for my C5 Calipers?
Hey I'm buying some C5 calipers and UMI F-body conversion brackets from a member here and need to buy some C5 rotors to go with these. What is a good C5 rotor to put on these? I just want good blanks...I did hear stoptech blanks were good but haven't found them yet. Also heard Brembo and Centric. I'm sure I'll go with HPS pads. Let me know what you think, I just don't want a rotor that is prone to warping quickly like the stock ones...
Also, what color do ya'll think I should have the Calipers powder coated since the seller will PC them whatever color I want? My TA is Arctic White.
Here's a link to what I'm buying:

If you're doing the conversion, i recommend either buying some brembo blanks or some kind of zinc coated rotors. I bought the crap autozone ones, which brake fine, but they rusted in the middle as soon as water touched them, now i need to paint them.
http://www.rotorsonline.com/ sells brembo blanks and some zinc coated rotors. I believe they are about 60 bucks a piece for brembo blanks, not bad at all.

Thanks for the info guys! I'll check out the site listed above.
The most popular color for calipers seems to be red but I don't have any accent colors so I was thinking about just black with the Corvette letters in white. But then someone pointed out that the brake lights are red including the one in the spoiler, the firebird on the back is red, and the markers are red as well so that has me thinking about red now... Anybody have some pics of a white car with red calipers?
