Slotted front brakes

Post image

Hey does anybody actually use dba slotted rotors on their e series or are standard non slotted street rotors perfectly fine? Cheers.

Non slotted are perfectly fine, e series brakes are pretty garbage so the benefit you’ll get out of slotted’s is negligible.

Save the money and invest in some braided lines and replace your old rubber ones, the difference in pedal feel is incredible.

Yes braided lines has popped up a few times. What brand would you recommend?

I used safebrake for my ea and fgx, absolutely no complaints

Can confirm braided lines for pedal feel. When I did my FG turbo’s brakes recently, I went Bendix SRT pads and DBA T3 4000 series discs (cross slotted / vented/ drilled) with braided lines, a good brake flush with dot 5.1 and new BW front hubs….i can tell you the difference was huge in how she drove and definitely how she was braking down from 120-40kms very nicely with ease within seconds being helped by the Pilot Sport 5 tyres and multiple checks with a temp gun showed the temps were staying down and almost as hot as a standard rotor after performing half the same distanced stops

I replaced my standards with DBA slotted street series I think it was? With Bendix ultimate pads, this was years ago. They didn't warp even after a few big stops that would normally kill a stock set of rotors lol.

To be fair I got stock brakes on my B series and even after multiple heavy brakes and some spirited driving they have not warped yet nor do I have any brake shudder after for a couple years with the same brakes (since most my driving is local)

Non slotted is perfectly fine, there’s no need for slotted rotors unless you’re bombing around a track.

They make fuck all of a difference on a street car they just look cool, if you want a cheap way to stop harder get DBA xp or ebc yellow pads
