Default Lone Star Brakes!

Working on new brakes for the 70. Can anyone tell me about a company that provides brake components called "Lone Star"?

Reputable company that supplies the Corvette brake vendors. I didn't think they sold retail, though.

Nice people. They are at all the major Vette shows-on the east coast anyway. I have their calipers on my car. Very happy with them. They also pay top dollar for cores at the shows (calipers, steering parts, and proportioning valves). I bought mine at a show (Bloomington), but they do sell retail.

They also sell the coolest Corvette T-shirt I own.

Thanks all. I ordered new rotors from Lone Star. They had the best prices by far and I just wanted to know that I was going to receive a good product.
