Hi Chaps

Need to replace the front discs on my C5 Z06
Always worth looking at upgrades - any recommendations ?

Slotted rather than drilled rotors would be my only recommendation.

I am looking at AP Racing ones for mine but there are so many different sellers and manufacturers of disks you have a lot of choice. Vette Brakes & Products in the USA or Livermore Performance both sell a selection of C5 brakes.

Be aware that PFC pads aren't kind to alloys. I had PFC Carbon Metallics on my old C5 and, although they were great pads, the resulting dust was quite corrosive and began to pit my alloys quite quickly.

Cheers,
