Yeah. $853 from sparesbox ebay store with discount. Good price.

I found that my last set of T3 had the same issue with rust.
The rust formed on top and the bottom of the face of the rotor where pads do no contact the face of the rotor. Like 1mm on top and couple mm near the hat.
I am annoyed they dont have their en shield coating which are available on their cheapest rotors but not on expensive versions.
I hate rusty brakes...
Most OEM rotirs now have the same anti corrosion coating.

Looking at their web site I think drilled and dimpled will replace XS.

I am still tossing between XS and T3...
im going to send an email to DBA and get them to confirm.
yes i have noticed the face surface rust as well. im with you re coating. anyway, id be pai ting mine a satin or flat black. not a fan of the gold. i have seen the same rotors in the US are available in gold or black. once again, we miss out.

I just spoke to them.
They will be discounted and they are clearing the stock now. They are replaced by 4000 XD
