Originally I went the route of upgrading my rotors to V size rotors front and rear. I couldn't stand the rust that developed from a car wash. Rotor centers and vanes looked terrible rusted and it would drip rust water all over my rims.
One thing that I found interesting is GM has one part number for the fronts and one for the rears. I didn't like the fact that the passenger rotors drill holes were in the same direction as the drivers side. Even though its pure cosmetic it looked backwards. Cheaper for GM
I went back to the original size rotors. First price difference is double and second I really didn't feel a difference with the larger rotors. Also had went on a c6 forum and multiple guys said that the size is for more material to displace the heat. It's more for durability. They say that a base model weighs less you get the same performance and cheaper.
I ended up going with two piece dba5000 in the front and stoptechs slotted and drilled rears. A two piece rear needs a special center for the e-brake. To rich for my blood so I went with a one piece. Went with ceramic pads front and rear stops on a dime!looks good too.Also polished up the xlr letters for alittle more shine. Still can't decide on a color for the calipers
