I have the corvette brake upgrade from lg motorsports already and was thinking of swapping to these rotors and pads. Plus they save 33 pounds of weight.

Well, don't know about the benefits, but I do know that they'd be illegal in some classes. Some classes require iron rotors. Even more specifically prohibit ceramic. You'd be able to use these only in some type of Unlimited class.

Titanium is lighter and stronger then iron. Ceramic is better at stopping. I'd say they'd be better. How's THAT for a technical analysis?!!

I'd want to know more about the pads than the rotors.

I am very happy with my Porsche 996TT brakes (old Prospeed kit). Only complaint is the weight they add, but Steved on frrax.com has solved that. If the OEM Porsche rotors ever wear out, a pair of 2-piece Prostop rotors will replace them.

Before you spend that kind of money get some LGM Wilwood calipers $1500 and run NAPA rotors 25 ea or Stoptech rotors.
