They are one of the largest brake manufacturers in the world. Very big in Europe and Australia.


That being said, I did not have much luck with some of their slotted rotors. Get blanks if you can. The 5000 series two piece DBA rotors are supposed to be good but they are $$$

They were at the Audi club event at MidOhio this past weekend. Nice looking stuff but pretty expensive compared to OE stuff, maybe worth considering if you were looking at StopTech Aero Rotors or something.

Vibration, vibration, lots of dust and premature pad wear.

yea you usually get les pad life with slotted because the slots tend to scrape the pad with each pass of the slots. anyways anyone know or have good experiance with slotted? i'll need a set soon so i'll have a set for street and track.

Stock rotors work extremely well for street and track. I just installed a new set of fronts on the racecar too.

After that experience with slotted I just kept using OEM blanks. Work great on the street and track.
