Looking to change my rotors and pads on my 2006 vert. What's the best Z51 disks for under $400 ?

No options for a full set of Z51 sized rotors at that price... I looked around a lot and ended up with DBA 4000 series slotted. I think a full set of OEM Z51 rotors will be a little over $500. (I think).. Check with Gene at GM Parts.

How much did the DBA cost you?

I also have a '06 vert with Z51, and am planning to change brakes and rotors. I found what I want on Tire Rack .com for $467 plus tax. The pads are Akebono ceramics and the rotors are Centric.

Hope this link works. It will get you to the pads. I think this is a good website for a visitor to find what he/she wants.

DBA T3 Club Spec 4000 fronts only about $391 from KNS Brakes (who I believe are a forum vendor)... Best deal I found. I'll do the rears soon, but they have a lot of life left, so it's more about visually matching. Also, got a great price on Carbotech XP10 and XP8 for tracks from same vendor..
