DBA are now making a new version of their rotors called Kangaroo Paw - they are suppose to be a huge step up from the std dba stuff...
I can vouch for the cross drilled cracking... I am about to replace the disks on the front of my 32 gtr cause they are both badly cracked around ALL the cross drill holes... though for now I have got a cheap set of second hand std rotors to put back on for now... but the next set of new rotors I get will be just slotted... and more importantly, they will be around 340mm in diameter :) james Dominic Votano wrote: > Total BULL. > > I supersprint a few of my cars and dont use the pose value (drilled) rotors. > DBA crack!!
