Brake discs DBA or OEM BMW
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
you can get some solid 1 piece DBA rotors for less, and they'll be phenomenal.
Pros: phenomenal performance, solid quality

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
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 300 km
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
