Default Base Stingray rotor upgrade?

Hello all!

Has anyone upgraded their base rotors on their stingray?... I have no intentions of tracking the car or needing any serious braking ability, this is purely aesthetic as far as I’m concerned!

hate the look of the boring stock rotors! I’m also not looking to invest heavily here.

i think the ugly stock rotors need to be enhanced before I do the wheel upgrade.

here is what I was looking at....




any advice greatly appreciated. I like the look of drilled...

i also have nice red calipers!!

thank you

I had a set of them on a base c6 that was street only and they worked well. Zero issues with them. They had no dust or rust like stock either.

I put that PowerStop kit on my wife's Infiniti Q60 - looks good, works as expected they are the most dust free pads I've used. I also noticed they don't show rust spots immediately after washing the car either. As they have worn over the last 8-10 months they do rust a bit more but no where near the levels of Infiniti's OEM units.

For my C7 Z51 which I track I'm using the DBA T3 Club 4000s. Nice part about them is the black painted hats. Only had them on for maybe 2 months now, but so far so good.

black hats sound nice do you happen to have a link to these? I think I saw a vendor on here but I can’t find their posts anymore

These are for the base model: https://knsbrakes.com/c/car-items/18...5_Brake+Rotors they also have the StopTech drilled and slotted if you like that look.
