One word of warning, go for the slotted long-life DBA rotors instead of those wanky gold-coloured X-drilled and slotted rotors, which crack when really punished. Hope this helps..Mal K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treated with a little kindness, they are'nt too bad, DBA are a decent Aussie product and deserve support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickcoul Member 21 Member For: 15y 11m 11d Posted 23/03/10 02:33 PM Author Share Posted 23/03/10 02:33 PM no problem. was meaning there is no other option for a xdrill and slotted from DBA to suit the car without the wanky gold colour.if they crack and its early days one would think of sending them back like a frisbee.

DBA make a top rotor that can handle plenty of punishment and reduce break fade significently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
