Measure your rotor diameter on both front and rear. You could have one of each on that year car. Standard package is 10.5"rotors and iron calipers/ HD package (or 1LE performance package) has 11.65" rotors and aluminum calipers.

I stongly recommend Stillen brake pads for the best street performance- you'll thank me later.

I would go with Hawk Blue 9012's if you are autocrossing or road racing.

Click on the website below-

Note: Corvette pads on that site are the same as the 1LE f-body brake pads. The other two listings are redondant and are for both front AND rear iron calipers w/ 10.5" rotors (again, the same pad works on both the front and the rear on non-1LE brakes).

Your best bet is to just call them if you are not certain but they will ask you the same questions I asked above about the rotor size to determine what you have- so measure them first (both front and rear, they could be different.)

Stillen in So. Calif (714)540-5566

These pads are much better than EBC Greenstuff pads- trust me I've tried both. Stillen pads work great for AutoX also as well as light road track use.
