Running DBA 4000 SX rotors f/r on my '05. Stock calipers.
I have been using r1concepts brakes since my first car over a decade ago. There brakes can be found at jegs, amazon and rock auto. Compared a 2021 receipt to current. I don't have any experience with powerstop. But r1 concepts brakes are way better then factory I've gotten metallic and ceramic pads the eline and geo line of rotors. Geo was so good. Typical rotors in the winter when you park in the garage and the next day the first brake has that squeal where your breaking the rust off of the rotor the geos never had that problem. I always got drilled and slotted and it definitely significantly improved breaking and I never had an R1concept rotor fail.
I’ve been getting r1 concepts after the oem rotors warped, never had a problem since.
I bought R1 Concepts vented and slotted rotors and EBC Yellow stuff brake pads. This is on my 2021 AWD Turbo. I still got more break in to do, but the difference is huge and immediately noticeable.
I’ve been running these for a few years….much better than the stock oem
These guys make great stuff and their customer service, if you need it, is exceptional. Only thing I put on my cars. My Mazda CX5 has drilled and slotted rotors, and my 13 C70 has slotted rotors. I will probably go with the Geo Carbons when my S60 needs them as I talked to a V60 owner that had them and he said those were the ones to get.
I've recently installed the DBA Street Series - T2 Slotted. Very happy with them so far, early days, but DBA does have a good rep. Priced well too.
Absolutely normal. But I would still get one which is coated. My R1 Concepts from Rock Auto were completely black with a Zinc coating
I have DBA t2 Rotors with their street ceramic pads. Great for street and does well in curvy canyons. I like them a lot, even coming from Stoptech slotted with sport pads. way less brake dust with ceramic pads.
I've purchased my brakes and rotors from R1 Concepts. They're not that bad. I went with oem style rotors and ceramic brake pads.
