C5 or Stock? What's the difference
 

Okay... So, when i bought my z, some of the stuff i was told indicated stock pads/new rotors/stock calipers, and some said that I had the C5 caliper/rotor already put on.
How do I tell the difference between the two? I know they're similar, but not exactly the same, and I need new rotors. grr for disambiguity!

The C5 calipers say "CORVETTE" on them. Here's a pic of a set I powder coated:

These are stockers:

That's quite helpful, thank you.

Powder coated the rotors too?

+1 :eyes:

God I hope you didn't PC the rotors...

lol some rotors do come black anodized to protect the hat, however the anodizing does wear off the faces...

EBC has a line of black rotors.

hmm... how well do the ebc rotors stand up to time?

EBC is a big name is the superbike racing series.

I ran a set for a few years along with hawk pads, that I bought from Tire Rack. I drive aggressive, fast with heavy breaking.

just like any other part on the car, longevitity is depends on how you drive.

If you have C5 rotors, you have an adapter bracket for the calipers.

Yes I powdercoated the rotors too so the hats wouldn't rust.
