My steering wheel has started to shimmy on light to medium braking, and it's clear that the rotors are on the way out.

They are the Brembo drilled / slotted type, the calipers are 4-pot (black).

I'll post up a picture later, but need some advice on identifying the model number/type for replacement (I prefer the slotted-only type) and also best place to buy.

Oh - I need pads too. Recommendations on street/strip occasional mountain run pads?

Cheers!
Andy

Are they direct corvette replacement rotors or an upgrade kit with different calipers, etc.

Also check with Tire Rack.

BTW, the C4 never came from the factory with 4 piston brakes. 2, yes, 1, for sure... 4? nope.

The black, or Grand Sport, calipers were the same as the ZR1 or J55, but a little bit thicker and black.

If he has the same or similar brakes to mine then he neesd 330x28mm rotors

Which I did not find at tire rack.

I would like to find a pair of rear 2pc rotors to match my fronts though

OK so here are some pictures.

Jeff - thanks for the suggestions, I'll try racingbrake. Looks like mine are similar to the pictures you posted up except my calipers look slightly different.
