Default ZO6 brake rotor replacement

Currently own and track a 2017 ZO6 and need to replace the brake rotors.
Looking for recommendations and part numbers if possible. Thanks

Are you looking to replace with OEM rotors? Front/Rear? Iron/CCB?

For CCB at least, as I've just replaced my front on m 2017:

Front: 20981825
Rear 20981826

I track my GS, which has the same rotors as the Z06. The OEM front lasted 7 track days, since then I switched to Girodisk. I have 7 track days on the Girodisk, and I don't know how many more days I can get out of them. I am still on the rear OEM after 14 track days. Based on my research on the forum, Girodisk was the best available option for C7. They more expensive than the OEM, but the OEM is not durable for track use. I use Carbotech XP12.

I recommend the DBA replacement rings. Much better than OEM and much cheaper than Girodisk.

For clarification, do the DBA bolt to the stock hat? Are you reusing the hardware?

Ordered DBA rotors from Ken @ KNS Brakes, great guy with great service.
Yes, will be using stock hats but new hardware also supplied by KNS Brakes.
