Front Left Brake Rotor - 2002 Corvette C5 LS1

When sourcing replacement rotors for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, the front left position accepts GM part 18060694 or its casting equivalent 18A60694 across the entire 1997-2004 C5 base model production run. Junkyard hunters must physically measure the rotor diameter—12.8 inches for base LS1 cars versus 13.4 inches for Z06 models—to avoid incompatible hardware. Inspection focus should target heat checking and radial cracking between the five wheel mounting holes, common failures from track day heat cycling. During installation, clean the hub face thoroughly to prevent lateral runout, and torque the caliper bracket bolts to 129 lb-ft in a star pattern. The directional vanes on performance variants require checking the casting arrow for proper rotation, though base LS1 models typically utilize straight-vane designs that are side-interchangeable.
