Buy DBA rotors and Bendix GCT pads from any SuperAutoCo- they have a great service life, make minimal dust and won’t warp on you.

Pros: great service life, minimal dust
Cons: may warp

Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.

Pros: avoid slotted rotor
Cons: dust and wear concerns
Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

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
