Well, Got my rotors and brake pads today. Going to tackle it this weekend. These are cadmium plated instead of zinc plated. A bit more durable. I read an article about rotors that changed my mind about them. The drilling is 95% cosmetic, and weakens the disk. No real benefit but looks. So I did go with the slotted ones. A good read. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1410305

You're making me green with envy!
I also had the same problem (cracking) with drilled (aftermarlet) rotors, but there has been NO REPORTS of that on this forum with the OEM rotors on the V's. I have rotor envy!!!!! They look great!!! SEND PICS!!

I will when I get done. I'm checking into the next mod after this. Front and rear cams. Front so I don't hit the curbs and rear so I don't hit the dog.

Finish replacing all four rotors and brake pads today. Took about two hour start to finish. There was one or two beer breaks. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r2/galen1115/DSC01611.jpglittle better viewhttp://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5113/dsc01606qd3.jpg

Those look good, noticable difference. Now you have to be sure to keep your wheels clean to match the rotors :)
