Baer brake track package rotor same as C5???

I have a friend who destroyed the rotor on his RS cammie. He has the Baer track kit with the 13" rotors in the front. Does the Baer rotor have the same specs as a C5 rotor? I know they are both 13" rotors and Baer modeled their kit after vette parts.
Or is there somewhere he can get a replacement 13" baer rotor for cheap???

No, C5 rotors and Baer 13" Track rotors are different, and Baer rotors are not cheap to replace. Try a 13" C4 HD Vette rotor, it should slide right in.

Ed,

What should I ask for when I go to the parts store. Maybe a 1993 Corvette with the best brake package option? Or is the C4 HD option only certain years or models like anniversary edition or ZR1?

Have you had dealings with the baer package before? Ever had to replace the rotor on one? What do they cost.
Thanx, Tom

Ask for a rotor for a '96 Vette and if asked, specify a 6 speed, but they all got 13" brakes in '96.

I got a test rotor from Baer a while back and one Track rotor cost me $165 IIRC...Replied to your PM.
