DBA Slotted rotors

[Capacious]

I just bought some new DBA slotted discs from EBay to replace my old ones... the discs that arrived from EBay came in a proper DBA box but they're a different slot pattern to my old ones.

Does anyone know if DBA have changed their slot pattern for Commodore? Ie gone from the single direction to the twin directional? Hoping I haven't been ripped off with fake ones!

Are they these ones?

I have some DBA 4000 Series 6x6 Wiper Slot Rotors and it has the slots going in different directions.

Yes they have changed it standard slot is now called t2 and the wiperslot are now t3

Thanks guys... yep they're the new T2 ones. They look a bit ugly but look like they'll work better! Will chuck them on this weekend and see how they go!

Hey, whats the difference between these slotted rotors and the stock ones? im looking at getting new bendix brake pads soon and might just look at replacing my discs to these instead of getting them machined? how much did u save getting them off ebay?
cheers

I got the 4 discs on EBay for about the price of 2 discs at trade price from Coventrys! The slotted rotors helps to disburse brake pad dust to allow for more consistent braking on long/hard drives. The DBA rotors handle heat and temp changes better than some of the cheaper brands. You still need good pads though!

I do a custom slot RDA rotor that looks like this.



These are on our Senator. I do all four rotors for $350, add $120 for RDX performance pads.

Any reports of rotor failure due to the cross drilling?

You asking me? They aren't cross drilled, they are dimpled so will never crack.
