New rotors

**Wh1stl3r2** · December 15th, 2016 10:27 AM

72Tkms and the OEM front rotors on my Navara are shot. Minimum thickness is at 26mm, and they are at around 25mm. The center part is also thicker, which makes me think it might already be cementite. Must be all the loaded trips in stop and go traffic.

Called up local Brembo distributor and they have nothing for the D40 so I'm choosing between these two DBA rotors. Street series T2 slotted and street series blanks. I know Aussie made DBA are great but I'm told these series are now made in China. Cost is close to OEM. Anyone with experience running the same series rotors?

I would assume the China made DBAs should still be good so long as they follow the same standards. How long is the warranty?

Try checking Runstop also (Thailand made). I'm considering these for my Hilux (might go with Brembo pads when they have already). On FB you can check Adacon marketing.

Yeah, OE spec. It's a little cheaper than the OEM Toyotas when i inquired before (for a previous gen Fort.)

Vinj,
Inspired by bro Sarsi's cellphone stinginess I'll probably buy online and have them shipped here so no warranty. They should be at least as good as OEM though, right?

A friend had Runstops installed before but they warped earlier than his OEMs. Not sure where he got them from, maybe he got fakes but to be sure I don't want to risk it. Re: pads I still have a couple of EBC (Greenstuff & Yellowstuff) so I think I'll be ok for a while. How are the Brembo pads in terms of dust and noise?

I do hope they are at least as good as OEM. Heck for some Toyota models, the cheap replacements i bought in Banawe were even better than OEM in terms of warp-resistance (I've had early warping OEM rotors on the Gen 9 Altis, Innova and Hiace).

no experience with the Brembos yet. Good to see feedback on runstops so i have to research more as well. I have a feeling my Hilux stock rotors are going to warp early too.

Wow. Even Toyota OEMs get warped? I guess everyone is cost cutting nowadays. At least now I know it isn't because of my "driving style".

Hmmm. Icerbrakes doesn't seem to have any feedback from any forums. Only Brembo and DBA are discussed more frequently. The EBC pads were bought online, I just forgot the site. Sorry, I'd retrieve the source but I was locked out of my old email account.
