Brake discs DBA or Textar

Textar Brake discs

Don't have experience with RS models, but we've used Textar brand rotors and pads for our Q5 twice and they're fantastic. Textar is an OEM supplier to Audi. The last set lasted us 90k Km and the bite/behaviour was the same as the original brakes.

Pros: fantastic, same as original
Vehicle: Audi Q5
Mileage: 90000 km

DBA Brake discs

Bought DBA T3 4000 rotors, DFC 5000 pads, a nice jack from harbor freight and some jackstands all for about 900 and did it all myself in about an hour and a half. Changing these pads and rotors are honestly a breeze.

Pros: easy to change

I just fitted DBA rotors (slotted) with Akebono ceramic pads to my F22. DBA does a few different styles for different applications. If you're mainly streeting your car, you generally don't need drilled. Dust and noise is almost non existent with these pads, with a little more bite than OEM.

Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite

I'm running the DBA Street Series T2 slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines on my STI Brembo's. Works great for me on track, touge and street. They do squeal during the break-in period fyi.

Pros: Works great on track
Cons: squeal during break-in

Textar Brake discs

I did mine recently. Purchased new guild pins and boots from rock auto and replaced them while I was at it. For rotors I like Zimmerman, pagid, brembo or textar. And pad I like semi metallic, preferably pagid or textar. For this particular brake job I went with textar rotors and a combination or trw and textar pads. Took me roughly 2-2.5 hours and cost me about 680 CAD. I flushed about a L of pentosin dot 4 through too.

Pros: easy to install, cost effective

Be careful with the Textar rotors. They're made in China, I had used them for years when they released but the warranty frequency rate was over double what I had with Zimmermann. Switched back and the come backs dropped back to normal. Made in Germany ftw.

Pros: Made in Germany
Cons: high warranty rate
