Brake discs STOPTECH or DBA

I’m getting slotted stop tech rotors for my 09 Corolla XRS. Gonna hit some back roads, I’m a very aggressive driver and and very hard on my breaks, also want to do hard backroad driving, so I will benefit from the slotted rotors.

Went with stop tech two piece slotted rotors and EBC yellow pads when I got my 2015 DSG a few years ago. No complaints but there are better pads out there than EBC. First 3-5k miles the yellows squeaked at a 6/10 level probably.

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.

Dba rotors and nothing else

They look like Dba rotors

For fun daily driving, I’ve got stainless steel brake lines, stoptech rotors (slotted in front) and Carbotech pads that I absolutely love. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

Brakes: (front) StopTech 13.5” slotted Frodo, 944 Porsche pads, (rear) VR6 disc from 1996 Golf

Since I installed the StopTech slotted brake rotors on my 2013 Golf R last winter, every time I've driven in the rain, after cruising long enough such that the brakes get "cold," as soon as I mash on the brake pedal, there is no stopping power whatsoever. Once the brakes "heat up" the response and stopping power are as what I'd expect. On a dry day, this does not happen at all - the brakes are firm and the stopping response is exactly what I'd expect.
