The drilled rotors on the Vette have started cracking and the pads are getting low as well. New stuff incoming!

I also need to order a seat and mounts this week...

Why is the part number different for each corner on the discs?

I have no clue...The fronts should have the same PN and the same for the back but whatever...

EDIT: I think its the directional vanes in the rotors thats why...

IIRC those little spider cracks are only bad / dangerous if they start connecting the holes or go out to the edge of the disc. I ended up running mine out til they were below minimum rotor thickness.

Wow, you have actually driven your corvette enough to require new brakes!

Yup, the cracks on mine are like halfway thru between  the drilled holes and the outer edge. Since the car gets autocrossed every weekend now, I would rather spend the $100 120 on discs and have peace of mind.

I've actually only driven it 6000 miles since I bought it. None of those have been easy miles tho :P
