Apparently they warp a lot easier and wear quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the cost they are not as bad as people make out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull up well and have not warped. I would recommend bendix hd pads with them. Just switched to these and am happy. As pazzo said for the price and performance they are a huge improvement over stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dba tend to wear quick if you put aggressive pads with them. The EBC red are easy on the discs and have nearly zero dust . Its win win.
