This is the combination that worked for me - Akebono 370z calipers - 2 piece floating DBA rotors w/ aluminum hats - Winmax W6 pads - 3" ducts from front bumper to backside of the hubs. An advantage to the aluminum hats is it really reduced heat transfer into the hubs, improving the life of the bearings. The floating design helps prevent warping and cracking from the stress of all the thermal cycling.

Pros: reduced heat transfer, prevents warping

EBC Brake discs

én végül EBC-t vettem, általában kapja az ívet, amikor kanyargósabb utakra tévedek, eddig mindent kibírt, pedig nem kímélem.Úgy jött ki, hogy Grossglockneren lett befejezve a fék bejáratása, füstöltek már a fékek a nyúzástól és nem ott lett a vége a mókának, hanem még jöttek mindenféle olasz hegyek, ahol tovább lett tesztelve a rendszer határa, de a tárcsákat ez nem nagyon hatotta meg. Tavaly május végén került fel, azóta belement tizenpárezer km, abból 2700 km hegyi túra, és kb. minden hónapban van pár alkalom, amikor a féknek dolgoznia kell elég intenzíven, semmi baja azóta se.

Pros: tartós, jól bírja a terhelést

I run dba rotors and endless pads on my Z, and for fast street use they’re great but on track they’re okay. Pedal gets soft halfway through the day and the rotors have developed some small microcracks after 5 days of use and street miles.

Pros: great for street use
Cons: pedal gets soft, microcracks

I bought new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. Car is 370z.

Did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.

Today i went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, fluid will change.... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90kmh to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then i checked paint markings, all changed colors, indicating rotors exceeded 630°C.

And that was one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but i feel slight judder around 120kmh, and when i brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.

Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint?

Pros: works perfectly initially
Cons: pedal got soft, brakes smoking
