Brake discs DBA or GiroDisc
I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Dba rotors and nothing else
Pros: nothing else
Vehicle:
Hyundai
They look like Dba rotors
I just fitted DBA rotors (slotted) with Akebono ceramic pads to my F22. DBA does a few different styles for different applications. If you're mainly streeting your car, you generally don't need drilled. Dust and noise is almost non existent with these pads, with a little more bite than OEM.
Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite
I'm running the DBA Street Series T2 slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines on my STI Brembo's. Works great for me on track, touge and street. They do squeal during the break-in period fyi.
Pros: Works great on track
Cons: squeal during break-in
I went with DBA T3 4000 rotors and DFC5000 advanced pads.
As others have noted the Girodisc with quality track pads, upgraded brake fluid and RS3 ducts is all that is needed.
Pros: great reputation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
S2000 1 piece oem rotors last 2 weekends
Girodisc s2000 oem size 2 piece rotors lasted me almost 2 years of heavy tracking. They only died because my hawk er1 pads took a chunk out of one. They still had plenty of thickness
Pros: long lasting, durable
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Girodisc rotors are awesome and well proven across many vehicle brands.
Pros: awesome, well proven
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I run dba rotors and endless pads on my Z, and for fast street use they’re great but on track they’re okay. Pedal gets soft halfway through the day and the rotors have developed some small microcracks after 5 days of use and street miles.
Pros: great for street use
Cons: pedal gets soft, microcracks
Vehicle:
Nissan
