Default DBA rotors update??

I will be getting these early next year and I would like to know how people with them in their C5s like 'em. I rather have them than Eradispeeds so please chime in and give me your thoughts.

Just installed mine today. I picked them up from LG on Wed.

Front


Rear


Now time to do some car clean up.

Install of all 4 rotors and new pads took just over 1 hour.

Looks awesome, Tony! :thumbs:

Now after cleaning the car, you should be seasoning your new rotors. A couple of heat cycles should cure it.

By the way, I think you should use old brake pads to season the rotors.

Pads had 37,000 miles on them so while I did the rotors we went ahead and did the pads. I went with the Raybestos quiet stops pads front and rear. Plus the cost of having it done was to cheap to pass up on getting everything done at the same time.

Check with Lou at LG Motorsports I believe he was running a layaway plan so you could take advantage of the reduced pricing.

I like 'em. The gold hats would go well with my black Hardtop.
