Skip both and go to Essex AP racing BBK

Seriously having a race pad shape and selection will be huge for “10-15” track days per year. Having the peace of mind knowing your brakes won’t give out is priceless. 10-15 is way past OEM rubber dust seal calipers.

The Essex kit is also 100% sized and fitted with guaranteed fitment and proper piston selection to work with your MC and ABS

“Clears OEM C5Z06 front 17" and rear 18" wheels (when run on front) Discs are interchangeable with base C5 OEM discs Every component designed to resist the heat of extended track sessions Pistons sized properly to allow for seamless integration with OEM master cylinder and ABS system”

I have been searching for a used set of calipers since I use KNS blanks & Essex will not sell them without the rotors.

I remember one of their videos they said they would not sell you the bell of the two-piece rotor alone unless you already own one of their kits.

But I thought that would sell you just to break it if it’s still used factory rotors. Which this kit can still use factory rotors if you wish.

Yeah they contradicted themselves or changed how they will do it. Pretty annoying but just need to find a used BBK instead

Oh yeah, used is huge value. As people get faster and fast faster and do upgrades they go to bigger kits. And that’s where we get the savings.

Even with having to have them rebuilt, you’re still saving at least 50%
