I did my first brake job on an "01 C-5 a few weeks back, and learned one thing. They have different part numbers for all four corners.
After staring at them awhile, I noticed the cooling vanes were different on all four, so that installed they all turn the same way.
That being said, does anyone make C-3 rotors that are set up that way? Would it be worthwhile? I know stock C-3's don't have the front air ducts like they do, but it still woul;d seem a good idea.:cool:
 
I belive you can get them from porter field

Or get 2 piece rotors
 
Yes, directional vane rotors have a much better cooling capability. The rotor when spinning acts as an air pump and curved vanes work a lot better. Every serious rotor nowadays is curved vane.
 
Your best bet would be to go through a company like Wilwood that offers a two piece design. Personally, I don't know of anybody who makes Corvette specific directional rotors, but you can build your own with the two piece design.
