DBA Rotors
 

Does anyone have an opinion on these rotors?

An opinion? Sure... They look nice and are very expensive unless you live down under.

For that kind of money, I'd go with two-piece rotors.

What are the benefits of a 2 piece rotor for street use? No racing.

I've used these for 10 years of daily driving and regular track usage and never had a problem

Are you talking about the ones I posted or the DBA 2 piece ones?

I've had them on for some years now including track days and no problems.

Fine product. Personally though...

Your link specifically refer to the rear rotors. For the rears, and being 1 pc, I don't see any reason to pay this amount.

Heat paint marking is a nice touch, but again, the rears aren't the concern as far as heat dissipation. All else equal, rotor by itself isn't going to provide higher friction. Weight wise, these provide no or negligible (if any) reduction in weight over any other 1 pc rear rotors. So functionally, there isn't any advantage for most.

Asthetically, if distinct slot patterns is of your interest, maybe check out the below?

I am currently running them and they work well for me.

I think I’m with cv129. I can’t see why you’d spend that much on single piece rears. Save a little more and get 2 piece or just do his link.

The ones you have I have on the rear an I use my own rotor hats and a similar size 5000 rotor off the Ford Australia Falcon GT .. also fits a Jag XK-R from memory.

Careful inspection of the catalogue often throws up equivalents

Opinion, waste of money.

Please explain why. What do you use?

These rotors are quite expensive for what you get. There are equivalent alternatives for half the price.

If you want to spend the money, 2 piece rotors have the benefit of being much lighter and reducing the rotational wheel of the wheel, thereby, improving acceleration.

Because you can buy a set of rear rotors that will completely fulfill your braking needs for less than $150.

Please explain why you need every single decision validated by randos on the interwebs :icon14:


A rotor is a basic piece of metal. Some are heavier and dissipate heat better. Some are lighter and do not dissipate heat as well. For performance purposes, people have to compromise between those two factors.

For everyone else, IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Clearly, you have no need for those rotors. So you don't need to spend that much. If you want to spend the money, go for it. But don't expect to be congratulated on your decision.

I literally explained to him in terms of weight, heat, and friction. And he’s still asking why...

He's already made up his mind. He just needs someone to agree with him. Should have posted on Facebook instead...

Excuse me, but me "asking why" was directed to the answer that
2011 Nismo#91 gave.

:facepalm:

Excuse me, but the answer is still the same.

THOSE ROTORS ARE OVERPRICED FOR YOUR NEEDS!

This isn't a difficult concept. What is it that you are not understanding? :confused:

If I were to buy these rotors it would be front and rear. I disagree with your comment that spending 150 will fit my needs. How the hell do you know what my needs are? Thanks for your specific knowledge on the DBA rotors. I happen to have them on my Jeep and love them. I just wanted some 370Z owner's thoughts. Oh, I don't, need every single decision validated. I'm just lonely and need to talk to people!

By a set of Frozen rear rotors and call it a day! If you closer I would give you a set of OEM rears.

I know....and facts have been listed, that’s why I don’t know why u need more validation....

It’s cool if you like them. I have no problem with you buying them either. They look nice. But you ask for opinion, then need people to validate the opinion while facts have been stated.

That’s why JAR said what he said...you are just looking for people to support your view, not really want to hear the entire pool of opinions and facts.

Edit: if it’s not so expensive for e US market, I assume it’s due to them being from Australia, the opinion will be different. Right now, these don’t offer any functional (objective) or aesthetic (subjective) advantage.

Validation is the word of the day. lol To those who simply answered my question and reinforced my thoughts on the DBA rotor. Thank You. Thanks to the rest of you for looking out for my wallet. I appreciate that. You just don't know...

The tags lol

They are not the cheapest nor the most expensive. They are not the best nor the worst. What made you choose them? I am just curious. Not arguing.

Edit: if you do not wish to share your thoughts, that’s ok, best of luck

Just get the Racing Brake 2 piece rotors and be done. :tup:

Quit trying to take even more money out of his pocket! Great brakes though!!!

Hey BTW. Do you happen to know the weight of the RB, 2 piece fronts?

I think I saw it on their website at 28 Lbs. can't find it now. (which is close to the OEM weight, no? )

ZZ

Sorry, don't know the weight.

Just trying to help. :rofl2:

:iagree: Great rotors. :tup:

OEM fronts are 30, RB’s are 22.

Please explain why.

Are you serious?? Because you posted them in this thread:

Jesus Christ! Some people's kids :shakes head:

:rofl2: try the off topic lounge next time :tup:

Spend what you want. They are brakes. I am not going to knock anyone who does. That's for sure.

OP, for the record, there are people that buy the cheapest blanks from the cheapest auto store and run those on the track all day long - they just have to replace them more frequently. Some people get them cryo treated to stand up to the heat better (these are the frozen rotors Hotrodz refers to).

I don't care either. As long as you don't start a thread asking for opinions and then get irritated when they don't align with the one you formed prior to starting the thread :rolleyes:

You asked nicely so here ya go. First hand experience, stock sport brakes work even under the harshest of conditions. Lighter and or slotted brakes have down sides too. I use Frozenrotors blanks because I track the car. Repeated 135mph to 70ish and zero problems.
