    KVR 14" big brake rotors.

    Well I wore them out and called KVR. Good run of 100K no issues however response, was "sorry we do not carry them any more and can't help you." NO effort to help. Stay away from them. Had no info on previous supplier but was really to lazy to find that out. Any thoughts on replacement rotors that would drop in ? They use C4 Corvette calipers. Hate to spend a fortune on another kit but will if I have to, either Willwood or Baer. Thanks, Stan

    DBA makes a replacement rotor, but it won't fit the KVR hats. You have to get hats from Baer.
    Thanks to Darrin @ BC Automotive:
    $1800 and it was worse than when he started!

    Call Todd at TCE. I have had his 14 inch rotors with 6 piston Wilwood calipers for maybe 5+ years and i think they are the best mod i have done. They will stop one of our not so svelte beasts like running into a padded wall. I have never driven any other vehicle including one with brembos that felt so secure on braking.

    IMHO... the best mod for a Marauder.

    Vette calipers, the rotors are almost identical to the GT500 rotors. We got your rotors through a Michigan Manufacturer of racing rotors. They are available just need to know how to go about it. Thats what we did on your car Steve.

    KVR 14 inch Rotor service limit.

    Does anyone know what the service limit is for thickness ? New I believe they were 1.25 inches. I may have found a used resurfaced set just want to make sure they are usable before I shell out $$$. Thanks, Stan
