After trying just about every rotor out there, I settled on the DBA series rotors for my track car. They gave me better life by a factor of about 2X. I was using the Wilwood H pads which are very aggressive. Great product and vendor - recommend.

Been using their advice and setup for a year and a half and no issues. I still carry spare rotors to events, but have had no need to do a rotor change at the track since switching.

Are the KNS 2-piece front rotors for C5/base C6 no longer a thing? I see the rings listed on the site, but no longer the complete set

They are definitely a thing, we have removed them while they're out of stock so that no one orders them and ends up having to wait on them. We hope to have more soon!

Two piece have been my preferred choice for the last several years. Last considerably longer under hard braking, less pad knock back and no lost time in sessions while changing rotors in the hot sun while at the track. Actually, I have two sets of 2 piece. If ever I change a rotor at the track I want it to last, too.

(anyone need 4 dozen cracked one piece rotors that are only a few years old?.......it takes me a while to learn)
