Welcome aboard Steve!
I happened upon DBA last night while searching out rotors and thought they had some solutions to some problems seen here in our community. I sent a few emails "down under" and up popped Steve! Welcome.......In reviewing your company you can offer a lot to us here from a technical standpoint. As for the "sticky thread" I have set a message to C3 (i.e the big Kahuna) to get approval. Once again welcome aboard!

P.S. Now Muz will have someone to talk to (LOL).

LOL...

From a performance perspective I'm pretty happy with the stock rotors but I'm not into racing so I realise my needs are different than others. From a simple cosmetic perspective I'd be keen to see some cast iron replacement rotors with edges that don't rust (as in the pic above). I'm not worried about it on the surface of the rotor for obvious reasons but those edges do look unsightly after a while.

The hi-temp paint is a good idea and I have found it holds up well except for heavy track use where the top layer is baked off in spots (may be my uneven application). Have found it works better if I bake the rotors in the oven for an hour or so before using.

I'm going to sticky this for now. I don't know if cthree has had a chance to look at it yet and I know he's going away for the holidays.

Steve, welcome to the board.

Steve,
Welcome. Do the Kangaroo Paw rotors offer any weight advantage over the stock rotors?

Maybe if we get more than one person with the same opinion the truth might get closer.
