Brake System

Back from the dead. Did anyone bought from DBC?

Subscribing. Time to replace brakes and rotors...

FYI. I had just ordered a set of the cross drilled for looks and nothing else. lol..
I got a 5% off on the listed price out the door including free shipping.
Live chat with one of their agents for the discount and price for a full of 4 rotors. The fella I chatted with was Max. I was going to do a store pickup but that is not an option.

What are you doing for pads

 

[cdnz]

I think I will just use the stock ones as it only had 800kms on them? I just think that the nice OEM calipers deserve a set of better looking rotors? lol..

I would say that “ depends “ on the look you’re going for…..

Prefer this look.


Reality..




Actually..

These are what I wanted the most.

Where did you get that fancy red speedo ?

I changed at 15k kms because low speed brake squeal would not go away.

DBC's with stock pads squeal?
So those in the boxes are the Power Stop that you replace the DBC with?

Stock pads and stock rotors squealed. Changed powerstop rotor and carbotech pads together

These may be the way to go for the same performance as the Hawk's carbon pads in the vid? They are 1/4 the price of those American made ones. Hawks wants over $5xx+ tarriff, taxes etc.. usd. These DBC $225 ish cdn all in . No brainer..

Just ordered a set for front and rear carbon pads for $195 for Z51. Out the door. Chat with their live agent for an even better price/discount then what is listed on their website.
Hopefully it will eliminate some brake dust over the oem.
Ordered the cross drilled rotors a few days ago. They said it takes about a week for them to machine them?

Update. I just the chance to install the front kit today. Disappointed to say they do not work as advertised
The face/surface area of the rotor were 1/8" than the oem Z51. Pads were way off. Too small to fit into the calipers. Don't buy from DBC..
