Hi guys

For years I've bought DBA brake rotors as its a local product and the quality has always been good compared to overseas imports.

 

Unfortunately it seems that DBA have discontinued the front rotors, but still make the rears.

 

Just wondering what good alternatives are out there?

 

Thanks

their 2017 part catalogue on their website still lists them you're looking for dba 402 or dba 402s

I bought rda recently and am happy with them

Do they make the 5 stud version? Magna, fto, rvr?

If so, buy that and drill?

Or RDA

I emailed them and they said they didn't make them any more.

 

Heard the RDAs are prone to shudder if used hard?

Diameter [mm] 276 Height [mm] 45 Thickness [mm] 24 Minimum Thickness [mm] 22.4 Inner Diameter [mm] 69 Weight [kg] 6 Number of Holes 4

Not sure, mine have been used fairly hard and they are still smooth as.

How hard can you use them on a basically stock car?

Mine or his? Because mine doesn’t get driven like a stock car haha. It gets driven like a highly modified one

I destroyed rda slotted on the track very quickly with a1 qfm pads. Went back to standard brembo rotors with Ferodo ds3000 and had no issues. I have just replaced with dba slotted rotors so can give an update soon.

I've got some Dixcel ones on the way from Japan for my Galant VR4.

I'm also running RDAs, no problem so far - 3 years later.

Thanks! Ironically, my friends own that business LOL. They usually do discounts for forum members.

 

But strange that DBA themselves would say its discontinued!
