I have a Stingray which doesn't have full floating 2-part rotors like your GS has so my PNs don't translate to a GS car. I would reach out to Ken at KNS brakes as he does a lot of work with these cars.

Here is clarity on the discs for the GS/Z

DBA - rings only
Girodisc - they make full assemblies that use their hat/hardware/floating design with a D-bobbin
Girodisc (new) also have made a replacement disc like the DBA disc which we test fitted recently. This is NOT the same ring as the Girodisc assembly.

Ken:

Can you list the part numbers for DBA Rings for Grand Sport?

Thanks Ken.

Do DBA and GiroDisc include the hardware needed to install the rings? A GM dealer told me that the hardware is not available without the OEM rotor, and the bolts shouldn't be re-used

The route Ken mentions in the video is what I'll be doing. I picked up a second set of OEM fronts and once I need rings, I'll go the DBA route. In the rear I'm using Girodisc. Hard to pass up an easy 16 lbs of weight savings.

I have not seen any difference in the hats with GS or Z06.
