if want them for performance ......stay away from drilled, they form cracks over time... slotted a far better..... of course try Phat gt for some dixcel rotor and even pads.
Not a soobi anymore, but still slightly dirty

Yeah stay away from cross drilled rotors.. They are only rated for moderate driving styles.. I ended up fitting the EBC Turbo Groove Brake Rotors. They are slotted with dimple hole construction - "The blind drilled holes break down surface gases when braking from speed but do not weaken the rotor cross section as can happen with through drilling, thereby lessening the chance of rotors cracking over time and heavy use."

DBA's are a pretty good thing. Currently running DBA 4000's on my fronts & they do the job. They are a slotted jobbie & are ment to be a club racing spec (Which I don't believe by the way).

In saying that, I will be updating all 4 discs to Dixels with matching pads in the not too distant future :D

I've got to ask, are your discs worn out? If so, then an upgrade is a good option, if not, just get some sh!t hot pads. It might give you the extra stopping power you want.

+1 to talking to Phat about getting the Dixels, otherwise most brake places such as ABS can get you the DBA's.
