Hi all
I am driving stock C6Z calippers at my Z06 racecar and looking for some good rotors.
I have considered LG, Bear etc.
Does anybody have any good experiance to share??
Im not ready for the Big Brake Kit cost yet

Picture of my old rotor after Trackday at Rudskogen last time

I have been using DBA Rotors for the last 2 years without any issues on my racecar. Usually change rotors mid-year but most likely could go all season. I drive the car really hard so brakes and rotors get a good workout.

Hi JohnAlley
Thanks for the feedback.
I have also been looking at the DBA 5000 2 piece rotor.
Is it 2 piece rotor you got or 1 piece?

Tomra,
That is one ugly disc!!! I know you said you weren't quite ready for a full BBK yet, but please check out an article I wrote about Big Brake Kit Benefits you may not have Considered. Sometimes the initial costs can be a bit deceiving vs. the long-term costs & benefits. In my experience (10 years of selling brakes in the aftermarket), a BBK can actually save you money if you plan to keep your car for a few years. Good luck getting your brakes sorted, and let me know if you need any help.

Hi JRitt
Yes this disc is not very good
I will go for only better rotors this year but i guess that I am ready for big brake kit next year.
I will consider the big brake kit from you then

Do you got AP rotors that fit the Z06 calipper?

This pic shows why most warn against drilled rotors on track cars.

Jeff,

Whey don't you guys offer a direct replacement rotor for stock calipers? Something like this? http://www.essexpartsblog.com/news/c...-big-brake-kit Later on, the calipers could be added.

Tomra Z06

Bad
I totaly agree
Anyone have any experiance about those?

They look very good.

JohnAlley

They are the 1 piece rotors, I looked at the 2 piece but for the price and amount of use I get out of the 1 piece I could not see paying the higher cost of 2 piece

Tomra Z06

Hi JohnAlley
I will probably go for these.

I just posted my most recent article on brake rotors. You might want to take a look.

After what happened to your stock drilled rotors, you're going to get another set of drilled rotors? Do they not offer "blank" or slotted rings for those 2-piece rotors?

urtoslo

I run the DBA two piece rotors. They are not drilled.

I would stay away from two piece rotors that are drilled.

Tomra Z06

Hi urtoslo
Thanx for the feedback.
Do you got bad experience with the drilled disc?

urtoslo

Yeah, they end up looking like yours after one weekend. I never let mine go as far as you did, but the same idea.

Tomra Z06

Realy, nice to know.
Then I will consider the slotted discs.

LateBreak

I'll also vote against drilled discs, they ALWAYS crack on the track, the exception being some of the higher end BBK's where the rotor was designed with holes. Slotted is better, but I still prefer a standard smooth rotor.
