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.

Cheers

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

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.

Well, I'm basically using it to fill the empty space in the garage, but I do a track day or two. 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.

Thanks for the advice John, considering the pace you do guess those ATTKD's are not bad at all then!!!

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 :)

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.

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 !

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?

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?

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.

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.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
