Alex, et al,
We (CDM) have sold maybe 10 sets of the DBA cross drilled/slotted rotors since
they
became available a couple years ago and have not had any negative feedback on
them. I have had them on my 2000 since we first got them and am very happy with
them. But then, I do drive hard and rely on my brakes ALOT. The biggest
advantage
I noticed was when running the 3-mile road course at Thunderhill. Up until that
time my brakes would heat up and I would lose pedal after a couple hard laps.
With
the new rotors I had ZERO fade or pedal loss. However, I did lose that
wheel..........?? (no connection, literally :-)
These rotors tend to eat up the pads a little faster, but not to the extreme. I
haven't measured the rotors since installation but I don't think there has been
any
excess wear, maybe actually less than solid rotors.
