First let me say I was really thinking about just spending another year on the stock C5 brakes, or "upgrading" to the LG-Stop kit. Late last year a set of DBA 5000 rotors showed up at my door for me to try out, and they are AMAZING. Seriously, I was skeptical of using 2 piece rotors and I've been converted. I'll never make another rotor order from rock auto again! The DBA's are actually wearing like normal rotors, and the best part is if/when the crack/wear out, replacement rings are CHEAP! Never the less, that does not solve the pad taper that makes pads not last long at all. I've been talking with Ken form KNS Brakes\z06Brakes for a while, he has been my brake guy for years, and he has a "subtle" way of saying stoptechs are the best brakes for the money, and its silly to get anything else. I finally bit the bullet and this is what i got with my tax refund!



Ken let me know the box was on its way, and it was "big." I'm thinking like 20-30lbs big... no, this box was freaking HUGE! 65lbs worth of stoptech goodness!!!! I cannot WAIT to put these on the car, with a set of DTC-70 pads that were included, I cannot wait to not worry about the brakes for the rest of the year



Big Thanks to Ken at KNS Brakes/Z06Brakes.com

You all should see him on here a LOT more after he purchases his c5z ;-)

longdaddy

Those look awesome!

What is cheap for replacement rings after eating the initial cost? I run the G-Stop kit so I wouldnt mind upgrading to a better rotor to go with it.

Ross,

You'll love the Stoptechs. Did you get your vette running?

I concur.............you're gonna like it here

rasrboy

You suck!

Spoken like a true optimist.

I have the st-40 calipers and find them to be very good indeed.

I want to say rings are $100 each? although honestly i dont know. What i do know is they are WELL worth it. Wally and I both run different 2 piece rotors and both have stood up at least 2x as long as the rock auto crap we used before.


Got the car running, and honestly it was something duct tape could have fixed at the track... I'm a little pissed but its another issue solved and something I know how to fix in the future if need be.

St-2 > T1 although with your schedule having a t1 car is best, you can run both and be fast in both

I understand just how you feel.

Looking good Ross.

Hey,

The short block is yours for the taking. Tired of pushing it around the garage. The new motor is back in the box and will be making a trip back to it's birth place. It sounds like the shop will take care of it.

spazegun2213

sweet! Sorry about your problems

I'll come get it in the next week or so for sure

AU N EGL

HEY HEY That was my order.

Kubs

Very cool stuff!!

Where do you get replacement rings for your DBA 5000 rotors?

spazegun2213

Ken is a Hawk/dba/pfc wholesaler.
