pillboy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 edkwon, did you replace all four rotors or just the fronts? They look really good on your ride! It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 those alcons are pretty, now I should get a set of Endless 6-piston fronts and 4-piston rears with 14" rotors all around for shiz and giggles. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bskey Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 DBA 4000 series. I love mine. I think $300 for Front rotor set and a little less for the rears. Good value, and reputable. life in spin cycle..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 a little side tracked but interresting of the boys who race their corvettes http://www.corvetteforum.com many use AutoZone replacement rotors about $30 @ not drilled or slotted just plain blanks. depending on the track/speeds they figure use cheap rotors b/c they just get trashed anyway and they replace as needed considering you can buy four for the price of one "name" rotor. all other brake components are top quailty ie. pads, fluid, lines, etc. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get some flak for this but a lot of the BBK's floating around here were installed more for looks than actually needing them (as some have stated before, the stock LGT brakes can take some serious track abuse with just some pads and fluid), so I think needing them replaced every xx number of laps is the least of the owner's worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edkwon Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Lot's of pretty brake hardware in this thread. (and money) yup a lot of money, i wouldnt have gotten mine except the who was selling them brand new sold them to me for $300 less than he originally paid for (he totalled his car before he had a chance to install them so he was desperate for cash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1concepts is a ISO9002/QS9000/VDA6 certified company and thats a good thing btw. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f85stealth Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well good info everyone thanks....im not looking to replace the calipers because this car will see the track maybe once or twice its might be a street racer once in a blue moon at some point ,it dont hardly get beat on ever or will. But i have a spec b with the 18" wheels so i dont know if the brakes are different from the gt to the spec b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
