C5 and C6 base rotors are 12.9" x 1.25". Nobody has done a real in depth article about brake upgrades. Basically you have people who can afford the C5 upgrade, and then the others who can afford a BBK. Rear upgrades get to be a pain, due to the parking brake in our cars being incorporated into the rear caliper. And the throat size on the rear caliper is pitiful.

BB King, big heavy singer guy. When you throw him out of the car at speed he acts like an anchor.

Here's a pic of the rears.....I thought I had a pic of the fronts too, but I don't! I'm charging my camera and I'll snap a few of the front 6 piston units if you still need them. Black calipers with rased wilwood lettering.
