who makes the biggest rotor Out of all the companies i was wondering who makes the biggest rotor. Im looking for the rotor alone, not a rotor in a brake setup. I saw LG offered a 13" rotor but i was wondering how much bigger a Bear Eradispeed or KVR rotor is compared to stock.

By definition "replacement" rotors should be stock size (12" for an F-body). Beyond that there are "upgrades", which could be larger or otherwise altered from stock. Not sure I understand the question, though 
In general, you can subtract about 4" from the wheel diameter to determine what's the max rotor dia. you can fit...

Rotors go to 15.5" and possibly larger.
As far as replacement rotors. They will all be the same size. If you used a larger rotor, you'd need to move the caliper to fit that rotor, which would require a "brake kit" (adaptor) or some sort. So, stock replacements will be basically a 12" rotor (for ls1) and that's all that will fit (on a otherwise unmodified brake system).
I hope that made sense.

Just FYI but Eradispeeds are stock size. Baer's GT+ system seems to be pretty popular although I would personally go with the rotors and get some calipers from a C5 since they are the same as the Baer's PBR's 2 piston design. A whole lot cheaper that way. And I just bought the eradispeeds for my car (I got a killer deal on them and couldn't turn it down).
