I'm curious, why do you want those brakes? They aren't that much bigger than the C5 setup, and the drills/slots just weaken the rotor. Also, as a heads up, I know the rotors are directional and I believe at first GM was only able to acquire one side, so they used that rotor on both sides which had caused some problems early on. Might want to check into this to make sure its been fixed by now (or even was the case I guess, but that's what I'd read a while back).

I don't believe that the Z51 rotors actually have directional vanes...therefore there would be no right/left directionality. Could be wrong about that though.

thanx i was aware of the one way directional rotors but i was told those were for the c6 basic setup and that the z51 rotors were cross drilled and directional. i'm think i might be able to get the rotors and calipers at dealer price so thats what i need the factory numbers for.. but thanx for the website let me know how those brackets work out..
