[Z06] KNS 4K Rotors by DBA - Quality Blank Rotors for your C6Z or GS Brakes

Thinking about using the slotted rotors with my stock calipers and pads. Do a day or two of HPDE per year, but don't want to swap pads in and out? Good compromise pad? Hawk street/race?
Hawk Street/Race is a pretty good pad to pull double duty. There are a few drawbacks though.
1. They are pretty abrasive on rotors when not up to temperature.
2. On the street they can be fairly noisy if not bedded properly.
3. Dust is atrocious.
Another option would be the Carbotech XP8 pads. They would be very similar in performance to the Hawk Street/Race pads. Same issues though, just not AS abrasive when not up to temperature and dust wouldn't be as harsh.
