Before use, I cryo-treat mine which doubles rotor life when used with ultra-agressive race pads. Rotor bedding is mandatory (manufacturer process). Because DBA is an Australian company (that is the A in DBA) I do tend to use them but have used Brembo in the past to good effect. I bought rotor rings and made my own hats as I have access to a mill/lathe. Still not cheap though. The other thing I did was use DBA 52102 rings as these are for a domestic AUS Ford Falcon GT ... and I bought off a race team who had to order a minimum quantity of 50 - they on-sold 10 pairs (I bought 2 sets) and kept the rest for their race team so it is always worth a lateral approach. I doubt Doran Racing have any 370Z bits left but for the price of a phone call, you never know. Cold firing helps with life and the original pair has only just been swapped after 6 years of DD and maybe 10 track sessions per year. Whatever you do, I'd strongly recommend cold-fire treatment. PM me if you want details. |
