dba 4000 slotted or stoptech slotted front rotors help me decide
 

have a dilama

want to get new front rotors and its either dba 4000 slotted 6x6 wiper slot or
a set slotted stoptech.anyone like one over the other? i had dba's before and were great.but im open for change and stoptech are cheaper.i drive hard on the highway and do a lot of track days.i had ordered dba but the guy was wrong and didnt have them i have goodridge lines hawk hps pads and some rbf600..

thanxx

I just install the stoptech in my car and it stop on a dime:thumbup:

I don't think your rotors will make such a noticable difference. It's more the pads/lines/fluid. The rotors will just make a difference in the long run due to better cooling, less weight

I have had excellent results with racingbrakes rotors. Kyle from hotlapmotorsports also is a great vendor and can get you a great deal.

I’ve run the 4000’s, and now have stoptech. I was not to impressed with the 4000’s, they did not exhibit any better fad resistance then the stock rotors and they cracked right where one of the short slots meets the outer edge of the rotor. I have stoptech now and I think its fair to say that all three perform the same in regards to fade resistance. None of these choices will make the braking feel stronger.

i warped the stockers so getting new rotors..
i had dba on my sti and that never happened and had BEAT up those breaks.

WOW strange thats the whole idea of buying better rotors
did they replace the rotor for u?

I would think that the fade resistance would have to do more with an appropriate pad choice (with regard to operating temps).

That cracked rotor photo is scary. Makes me want to go out to the parking lot right now and check my brakes for issues.

Most people have the wrong idea about replacing their rotors, they won't make the car stop better (and define better) by themselves. Certainly if you add new rotors then properly (or better then before) bedding the pads the "new" rotors will stop better, ie with less pedal pressure. Most people mistake better seated pads for better performing rotors. The idea a lot of rotor manufacturers try and sell us is the fact their one piece design cools better then others.

As far as a replacement, I would not expect they would replace them and I don't like the slot design they use. That one short slot hanging out on the edge of the rotor had me concerned from the beginning, and that is where the crack started.

I also have the hawk pads.

ofcourse by all means and agree 110% of what u stated and {thumbup} on the dba's .. i race my track bike road race wera & ccs for many years and was a control rider for sometime ..so i know my sh*t ..but i dont wanna goto mitsu and have them replace them and i have the same issue again ..thats working backwards
and to boot have some stranger work on my car.i dont let just anyone my car and if i do they have to be good wrench period.
i did order a set of stoptech a vendor had a deal on them so i wil try em out..
thankx for the reply's fellas
