Brake discs TRW or DBA

I have these rotors on my C6. Haven’t had any issues with them.

I have used DBA 2 piece rotors. They worked well in an endurance racing Mustang.

Only installed dba dimpled and slotted rotors with bendix suv pads. Better bite than standard. Only had it for 1000km while towing my 4.5m tinny. Cant help with longevity

Dba t2 and hd pads. So much better than the hilux oems and at 100k km on the rotors now and changed pads once

I used TRW XPS rotor and TRW DTEC pads on my city previously, drive rather spiritually on weekend rides at most of the famous B-roads in KV. No problem in stopping, bite points has improved over the stock

Trw rotors are good. Using for 4 years still vigorous and holds well even entensive abuse and torture.

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.

I paid 180 euros for all rotors and pads from TRW and Brembo. Worked fine for me.

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.

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?
