Brake discs DBA or Duralast
I have these rotors on my C6. Haven’t had any issues with them.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C6
I have used DBA 2 piece rotors. They worked well in an endurance racing Mustang.
Pros: worked well
Vehicle:
Ford 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
Pros: better bite than standard
Mileage: 1000 km
Dba t2 and hd pads. So much better than the hilux oems and at 100k km on the rotors now and changed pads once
Pros: much better than OEM
Mileage: 100000 km
Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM
Pros: better than OEM, great performance
Cons: cosmetic rust
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.
Pros: reduced heat transfer, prevents warping

Nissan
when I did the brakes on my ‘17 GTI about 20k miles ago I used Duralast Gold rotors and pads from AutoZone. Low dust, low noise, stop fine and the rotor hubs are coated so they don’t rust in five minutes. They’ve been perfectly cromulent.
Pros: low dust, low noise, stop fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
I use Duralast Gold rotors on my two endurance race cars - they are great. I wouldn't expect the basic ones to be anything special, but they should work just fine.
Pros: great for endurance racing
I had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.
Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: warped on track
Vehicle:
Nissan
Oh when I got high carbon DBA rotors with PMU pads the screeching was unbearable for street driving, track was fine with all the hard braking, but light breaking around town…..screeeeeeech.
Pros: track was fine
Cons: unbearable screeching
Vehicle:
Nissan
