Stock front brake rotors - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jetjock · 03-21-2016

I am looking to replace my front brake rotors with OEM rotors for my 93 Z. I have looked at a few sites but they talk about standard rotors and I do believe that the ZR-1 had the Heavy Duty rotors that were about 13" in diameter. Any ideas? I do have a 92 Z with stock rotors on it as a last resort.

Yes ZR-1s had the HD rotors (13")

Several years ago I scored a complete set of NOS stock rotors, still in their original boxes from the early 90's. I didn't need to change my rotors but went ahead and did so at that time. I have a complete set of OEM rotors that are used if you're interested. A couple schools of thought on using used rotors (even lightly used) advise to never re-use rotors ... perhaps someone with a better understanding/more experience with braking solutions can chime in. The main reason that I bought the NOS rotors were they were OEM Delco made in America and it's my understanding that somewhere along the way that Delco started having a lot of parts (including rotors) made in China which I did not want. AFAIK my take-offs had the correct stampings, etc. leading me to believe they were original OEM rotors. Anyway, these have been stored in the attic and if you're interested I can bring them to BG ... shipping would be expensive.

I'd be interested if nothing else that I know it was from you. Used is fine as long as there is something left. PM me and we will talk. I got something to tell you.

Corvette Central has L and R 13" rotors at $80 ea. I thought I recalled them having NOS ones pretty cheap, I am not sure these are those.

The OE ones were specific side/side due to curved cooling vanes.

Cheers,
