Default Who has the best price on DBA replacement rings?

I'm wondering who has the best prices out there for the DBA 5000 friction rings, specifically 5067.1. These are for the Wilwood SL-R6 front rotors (I believe they are 12.88 diameter) on my '99 C5 FRC.

Everywhere I'm looking is showing around $280 each, which seems a bit high for a 13" rotor.

Anybody have any other leads?

Any vendors out there who can beat that price?

DBA rings are expensive. I bought my dba5000 rotors and rings from KNS brakes.

Second on the KNS Brakes. He is private labeling the DBA rings - same metalurgy, but they do not have the heat / temp sensor paint stripes. Best deal out there.

Thanks Scott. I saw those but wasn't sure if they would fit for sure. I'm gonna assume this is what you were using? How many days of use were you getting from them? I've managed to burn through those DTC-70 20mm pads you gave me in only 2 track days and the rotors on the car aren't far behind that.

Spoke to the guys at KNS yesterday. Those are the same as the DBA without the name brand stamp. Heck of a deal! Ordered a set for the future.

Thanks for the info guys.
