Default KNS Brakes-good guys to deal with

Ken and Joe at KNS Brakes know their products very well when talking brakes and related items. I informed Ken as to what I was replacing and how I wanted to use the Vette and he steered me in the right direction with several nice choices of pads and rotors. He told me what pads worked best with which rotors and he never pushed the expensive high end equipment on me or told me “I have to have slotted this or crossed drilled that” that aspect alone I found refreshing.

As an added bonus their website is great and very easy to navigate, with current products and prices listed correctly. www.knsbrakes.com Their communication was fast and precise.

In the end I selected a nice set of Stop Tech Street Performance pad and Centric Premium Rotors…and yes it was the best deal I found-anywhere.

Thanks, guys!

I buy my brakes from KNS and they are a joy to work with. Customer service is great and they really know their stuff.

Ditto the above comments. No up-selling and always honest .... Look at most track events and you will see them out there using the products they support. The even offered up their grill at the track to throw some dogs on :-)
