    DBA worth it or not?

    Hey guys Just been looking at the DBA 4000 series slotted rotors for my car.
    Does anyone have any opinions on them.
    Have heard good and bad things.
    Another option would be the ATE power rotor but would like to go with an Australian company.

    They make them in the 312mm so will work with the bigger brakes on the car.
    Any real gains going with a new rotor?

    I would love to upgrade to slotted rotors, continue using the standard calipers and upgrade the brake pads and fluid.


    Dont think they offer anything for the polo though? nothing in the catalogue

    Rob i voted yes, With the amount of track work you do im sure you will find it better. I was thinking the same as mitch. Maybe slotted and dimpled though???

    People whom I’ve spoken to who rally & race and know of these things say that slotted rotors are brilliant at drastically shortening the life of your pads and little else.

    If they do that then the pad is getting more bite on the rotor.
