Does it exist...I don't know, but not by KORE3 currently. Could one be made...I don't see why not.

Buy a Wilwood rotor/hat for your stock hub/spindle and make a bracket (or a mock bracket & bring to a local machine shop, or have a friend help, etc) for the C6 caliper.
Just a thought!

Yep...it's called a CNC milling machine. There are several 5x4.5 rotor options, however the C5/C6 rotors tend to be heavier than many of the alternatives, making them the easy choice. We currently just machine the C5/C6 rotors for the 5x4.5, 5x5 and other wheel pattern applications.

Why not simply source cobra parts arent they supposed to have hug brakes?

I love brakes too, but I'm not much of a brake hugger ;)

As for the Cobra rotors, that's what most of our competitors seem to use. It's the easy choice for some, but not the best candidate IMHO for the stiffer C5/C6 PBR calipers since they are similar to the C4 HD rotors, at 330mmx 28mm [13" x 1.10"] thick versus 32mm [1.26"] thick for the C5/C6 front rotors. The Mustang SVT Cobra front brakes are remarkably similar to the 1996 C4 Grand Sport brakes with respect to both the caliper (pad-guided twin-piston design) and rotors. While certainly good for their time, they are defintely old tech.

Baer makes an abutment (caliper mounting bracket) for SN-95 spindles to mount C5/C6 (JL9/J55) front calipers. Part number is CBK332325. Others have used Corvette Z51 brackets and slightly enlarged one of the spindle mounting holes on the Mustang spindle. I just ordered the Baer brackets and going to use C6 calipers to upgrade my Fox body. Currently running an old Baer track kit that used C4 HD calipers.
