2-Piece Aftermarket Rotors - Choices

osbornsm · 09-17-2012, 04:54 PM

Hello all,

I have exceeded the thermal capacity of the OEM system / rotors.
They take a lot of heat but they don't dissipate it very well. So i'm looking for an OEM size 2-piece rotor replacement.

...If you think i'm crazy, read this.

Thus far i have come across two seemingly valid choices for front rotor replacement:
- Racing Brake: $868.50 (front pair)
- DBA 5000 T-3: $625.00 (front pair)

Any thoughts on which ones to buy, and why?

i haven't heard any long term reviews on the Z1 2 pc rotors but they do look good. i know the racing brake ones are good, the racing team i shot for this year in Pirelli World Challenge uses them and they seemed to hold up well from what i could tell

The DBA T3 are GREAT rotors!

I have used DBA for 15 years ... never had a problem, the latest T3 design is PDG (Pretty Damn Good) on bang-for-buck basis.
