Converting to disc, C3 rotors can be found pretty cheap,
Permalink  

When you find a Rock Auto closeout, C3 Rotors can be really cheap. I always said C3 rotors were inexpensive and a good choice when converting your B to disc, but I had no Idea they could be found at this price.

Yes, they are China, and uncoated, but for this price I'll take my chances...and I still used the discount code!

Just so I get it right: are you saying that the C3 rotors used on the 69 Corvette with 4 piston calipers can be used with the single piston calipers on the 69-70 Impala?

Thanks.

Thanks. 

 69/70 B-body drum brake hubs are needed.

Thanks. That's what I had always thought. I suspect the C3 rotors would work with the 67-68 B-bodies with 4 piston disk brakes, but I am not sure about that. I bought B body specific rotors for my 68 Impala 4 piston brakes.

I always wondered about that as well.

I'm only certain that the C3 rotor will work with the single piston caliper while using the 69 Drum brake hub and vette studs.
