Have you gotten any feedback on the DBA SP500 pads? Just looking for something with very low brake dust, car just cruises mostly and a quick highway pull here and there. Looking to pair a good pad with your C5 blank rotors.

They are low dust with good performance for a ceramic type pad and priced pretty well.
If you are doing a lot of hard braking I would consider a bit stronger of a pad.

FYI, all C5 models, C6 Base and C6 Z51 use the same brake pad in the front, and the rear pads as well.

Look at the DBA 2 piece on our website. They are $200 off retail.

I run them on my track car in our KNS brake kit and they are very sturdy.

what about the rotor replacements rings that are standard groove cut and then a set of hats that work with those? Basically the rotor set you sell for the kit that fits OE 17”/18” wheels
