I purchased my DBA C6 Z51-spec front & rear brake rotors from KNS and was very pleased with the transaction.

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

Quick question... if I already have stainless lines up front, do I still need to use the ones supplied in the kit because of different thread pitch on the calipers?

Saw the post on Facebook and was intrigued.

The fitting on the caliper end is different so you'd either use the supplied lines or use some type of adapter to make it banjo style.
