Brake Rotors?

[RBeed]

have had a bit of a look on here for some posts on brakes and there is plenty on calipers and brake pads but was wondering what sort of rotors you guys run???

not talking about big AP setups or any aftermarket set up, was more along the line of RDA's? DBA's? aero tech etc etc but still on a factory caliper.

not really important what car either but some will ask so there for a R32 GTR

really just any general feed back would be great

cheers

RDA from the group buy, awsome value

[raps86]

+1 for thr rda group buy. great value for the price and dont have the problems like the rda series 4000 slotteds.

DBA4000, never a problem, and Australian owned

Did anyone notice any difference in these rotors?

DBA4000 + track = FAIL. There's a thread about it, so read that before you consider buying them. The dumbass slot design appears to be the culprit.

Yes i read the post and both DBA and RDA slotted rotors have failed on the track, but, DBA have changed the metal in their rotors so apparently they are better now.

My slotted RDAs gave out on the track day, I gave them a floggin yes but I was told but others there that they won't last as long as the DBAs, different metals and manufacturing process apparantly...I've heard some say "they're from the same factory, so DBAs are just overpriced" and others just laugh when I mention that line so I dunno.

I've been through two sets of RDA front slotted rotors, next time it will be the DBA I don't see other track driven cars running RDA and that tells me there is either a reason or most track guys believe in buying brand name, considering some of the cars I've see at track days (low budget trailer hauled cars) I reckon it might be because of advice from others, make from that what you want...

My RDAs were shuddering by the end of a track day they were in their later life and I knew that they would maybe suck by the end of it but I didn't want to thrash the new set I had in the garage.

If someone can support the reasoning to buy DBA please shout it out...

Project Mu are good, cheap & available. They can be had in either a one piece or a hatted 2 piece rotor. They are much better than either the RDA or the DBA rotors. If you are going near a track I would recommend them. If you just drive on the road the RDA's will be fine.

I have had a total of 8 DBA 4000 rotors. They are sitting in a pile on the floor of the shed as 6 of them are cracked. As mentioned earlier it is the return slots that cause the problem. In fact I would (for track purposes) avoid any rotor that has slots that continue to the outer edge of the rotor. I used the RDAs for one track day only & they survived ok. I wouldn't recommend them for continued usage however.

What will the car be used for?

I upgraded to DBA4000 series and have noticed a huge difference in the hills. Never tracked them before, but have bad things about them on the track.

I have 327mm slotted DBA4000's with 33gtst calipers and Ferodo DS2500 pads on the front of my 32gtst. Wow, what a lot of braking lol.

The slots in these rotors don't extend all the way to the edge either.
