Brake discs DBA or GiroDisc
I'm running DBA T3 Rotors with Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Pads. I love the DBA rotors and had them on my previous Genesis Coupe. The Rotors aren't cheap with but worth it IMO.
Pros: worth it
Cons: rotors aren't cheap
Got DBA T3 4000 rotors on sale from tire rack a couple weeks ago for cheaper than the T2s. Hawk HP 5.0 pads and I'm very happy with the results.
Pros: very happy with results
I went with DBA street series with hawk pads. No complaints after 2 yrs of daily. Street Series feels more OEM+.
Pros: feels more OEM+, no complaints
DBA has good gear, just put street series on my VF & are good.
Pros: good quality, good performance
Replaced with girodisc two piece rotors. They are great!
Pros: great performance
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
you can get some solid 1 piece DBA rotors for less, and they'll be phenomenal.
Pros: phenomenal performance, solid quality

DBA rotors with hawk pads
2021 Macan brand new from Porsche ,front brake caliper upgrade grade with new DBA rotors and pads with sensor, and braded brake lines that all work with the R. All done a month ago with paper work.
Pros: brake caliper upgrade
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
why not switch to 2 piece giro disc slotted rotors or ap racing j hooks
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?
Pros: works perfectly initially
Cons: pedal got soft, brakes smoking
