rehab2010 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just trying to understand how much am I losing, gaining, if I go with ATTKD instead of DBA 5000's - my original rotors are warped, and I might as well go the 2-piece route. ATTKD 2-piece ones are $499 (+shipping) on justjap site, presume for a set, and DBA's are quite a few $ more. Are DBA 5000's worth the extra money. Is it hard to find replacement parts for ATTKD's? DBA replacement parts are fairly easy to find. Any feedback would be great.

Risking Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What are you using the car for?? If it's predominately a street driven car go with an ordinary single piece rotor. Under your foot your not going to notice any difference from a base model RDA to a 5000 series DBA.

ssxRicho Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'd be grabbing the ATTKD over the 5000's. Something to think about is the new DBA4000 design, iirc they will be around the same price as the ATTKD and can't see them being any better. So I'd get the ATTKD. I'm using the ATTKD / KSPORT / G4 / D2 330mm rotor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379506-attkd-vs-dba5000/#findComment-6053984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to do all the SAU-Vic rounds next year, so could see some use for the 5000's, otherwise I'd go for the 4000's.

Tweaky Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I recently converted my front end brakes to ATTKD 8 spots & 356mm rotors & can't fault them what so ever . Great on the road , great on the track with no break fade what so ever . For the price i think they are great value for money Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379506-attkd-vs-dba5000/#findComment-6054369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do end up deciding to just go the 4000 series, we've got 9 pairs of front slotted to suit in stock that we're doing on special at the moment, $184.80 per rotor.

Tweaky Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 need 18's for that setup - otherwise I could run them in the future. I have 19's on mine , so i have no problems with clearance . Your right though 18 are the minimum with the 356mm rotors I have the Attkd 8 spots up front , with standard 2 spots at rear with Dba t slot rotors & project mu pads. Also got braided lines all way round , cusco master cylinder stopper & Motul Rbf 600 brake fluid . This setup is fantastic & have no brake issues what so ever !

rehab2010 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Well, I ended up getting a set of ATTKD's 2 piece rotors, DBA mucked me around a bit, took more then 3 weeks since I put an order in and they still couldn't tell me if and when I'll receive them so I cancelled the order...................but funny thing happened with my original rotors - they don't feel warped any more, even when I brake really hard they feel smooth just like before. hmmm, funny that ey, so I decided to leave them on the car for a while and I'll swap to those ATTKD's later - its not bad having a spare set of rotors on the bench. You guys reckon they'll just warp as soon as they get hot again or they may be ok for a while longer?

_Wing_ Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That doesn't sound like warping, probably more uneven pad deposits on the rotor which got cleaned up over time and now you're back to smooth braking.

cobrAA Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Damn, I didn't knew about these... let say, I start learning how to lap next year, would the DBA 4000 still be fine or should I go ATTK right away? Anyone tried the AMS rotor? http://forums.gtrcanada.com/ams-absolute-motor-specialties-inc/42748-ams-max-slot-16-r32-2-pc-front-rotors-intro-sale-%24399.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379506-attkd-vs-dba5000/#findComment-6082449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone tried the AMS rotor? http://forums.gtrcan...ale-%24399.html I would keep the original rotors on, until they crack or warp, and just fit the car with good brake pads, and really good brake fluids. Your old discs are probably very good, they would have gone through the heat cycle many times and will be better then some brand single piece disc. I used original rotors with DS2500 and RBF600.

MsR Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 was also looking at the comparison as i hae the DBA5000's on atm and considered the difference against the ATTKD branded ones. have spoken to Justjap and theyve told me its technically same as the D2/k-sport/taiwanese-made gear, just with a japanese company branding on it with the workshop's consent.
