Well ....say hello to the new guy!

Hi All

My name is Ken Kozlowski - and I own/operate a small brake parts company in Cary, North Carolina - a mere hours drive from the absolutely stunning Virginia International Raceway. I am a degreed mechanical engineer by training - but in reality I'm just a car enthusiast like most of you. I do this so I can spend weekends doing this.



I just signed up as a supporting vendor on the site and I look forward to earning a good reputation as a qualified parts vendor. I think you'll find me honest, helpful and easy to deal with.

I have been working w/ several track guys at VIR on Z06 brakes - and after a year I decided I was ready to join up.

When Jeff started:


And at the end of a successful rookie year



Went through these quick because GM chose to ruin them w/ holes - and even commit the Mercedes error of only making one side.



SO they do this pretty fast - often right while you are excitedly talking w/ others about the session you just finished BOOM!

THAT"S NOT A DBA ROTOR.....




Really thin 2 piece rotors didn't fare too well - shot those in a day



Ask me what I think? Well the plate thickness isn't enough - nor are there enough vanes. NASCAR rotors take more torture than anything - they'll have up to 72 vanes and thicker plates.

DBA on the left - aftermarket 2 piece on the right





I am a stocking distributor of:
Hawk Performance Brake Pads
DBA (Disc Brake Australia) brake rotors.
GFC Rotors (Generic F****** Chinese)


I sell Ferodo and am working to get a reliable source who doesn't FAIL for PFC because I know some of ya really like those 01's.

I also am a Brembo and Stoptech dealer - some nice brake kits.
Fluids and lines come along for the ride as well.


The goal is to sell enough brakes to be able to afford to buy a Z06 as my rides around VIR in them have been fairly staggering. For now I'll have to settle for my 400WHP STi.

Happy new years - cheers etc...

If you have a question - would like a quote on parts - or just want to stalk me send me an email/PM/smoke signal....I tend to be responsive to queries.

-Ken

Re: Well ....say hello to the new guy!

This space reserved - i like to keep the number of threads down and will add product info here.

I have a couple sets of C6 Z06 DTC70/60 brake pads here -

You may want to pick them up before 08 pricing takes effect.

I get up there as often as possible - so that should surely make it on my calender.

Although for best results I'd probably like to hear from some of you BEFORE the event
