I just ordered 2-piece StopTech rotors for my Z51.

I think you mean KNS.

It's personal choice.

Some track guys use cheap DBA blanks with no issues. I've used them & did not get the same brake feel/performance of the stock steel units. Yes they are cheaper, but I boiled my SRF last year at VIR & totaled the vehicle in a tire wall. Was it the cheap rotor's fault? who knows, but I would not go that route ever again.

This is my thought stock rotors are $794 and Girodisc or $1000 will the Girodisc last longer? Pads on the front are XP-20.
Any help would be great
