And the C5 rotors are 12.8" and 1.25" thick, which is a signficant step up from the LS1 f-body, but requires 17"+ rims (and some 17's don't fit).

BTW, the C5 rotors can be had for cheap, I picked up a pair from my local NAPA for $27 ea (brand spankin new made in Canada ones).

I (as well as many others) have been unable to get Ed to reply to e-mails/PM's even though he is reading them. Who is this "other place" you mentioned? I'm in need of front hubs and caliper brackets to work with my Belltech 2100 lowering spindals.

Good luck! Let us know how you make out.

Stainless Steel Brakes (SSBC) has a nice set of 13" triple piston brakes:

This is what is on mine. I'm running 18" x 8.5" wheels and 255/50 x 18" tires.
