Default c6, WHICH FRONT BRAKE COOLING KIT.. DRM, QUANTUM, ETC

I have a C6 that I use for fun and for track days. After my last day at Laguna Seca, I really need something to cool my brakes down. After looking at several kits online, I wanted to find out what is best for VALUE, EASE of INSTALL and COOLING.

Thanks for your feedback.

Is Lambert still around? I havent seen updates in a while. Last I had heard (December last year) they were working on a very interesting sway bar kit that never made it to market.

JTRANTHA I order my brake ducts and hoses from Lambert laponline.com Feb,2012. Installed it June, 2012 pretty easy. Here's a link to my forum thread of install.

I wish I had rear spindel ducts on my car. My rear pads seem to be wearing faster than the front and the dust boots are burnt up on the calipers and tie rod end ball joints.

Cheapest route is most likely EBAY, but I like supporting the racing community.

I am running the DRM/LG setup on my C5z and am very happy with it.

Yep still here. We had a baby last year so I took some time...

Still working on and testing the sway bar kit. Should be an interesting spring...
