DBA has a patent on their vane design which is derived off a tear shape vane design commonly used in ferraris and vipers. As far as my research has found they are the only "gray market" product to sell this design on the oe sized replacement market. Companies even like AP or even dixel have been trying to buy the patent for years.Since DBA has a lock on that patent, other companies are now trying to create a niche way of saying their product performs the same as DBA even though they are stock replacement blanks that are supposedly heat treated, slotted or manufactured differently so people think they are better.

DBA is good because they actually change the OE design while retaining OE fitment dimensions. All the others are just gimmicks.
Oh no, I totally agree with you about DBAs. They have served me well and from my understanding are very well engineered. I think the sentence wording was confusing...I was saying that Brembo blanks that I have used once before might now be made by Centric as well. So, in theory, if buying OE type replacements just buy Centric and forgo the mark up of other brands that will be essentially the same rotor [which was already stated]. If I am wrong on any of these accounts please correct me.

Sorry I'm reading off my blackberry.

Just to clear things up...


Brembo is not made by centric. Brembo makes their own oe sized brake discs.

In the oe aftermarket food chain, the cheaper buy for brake replacement parts (rotors) are pilenga. There are other parts made by other companies but I am only naming products that I feel are of high quality for use. Many of them are china made, but the quality is good for use.

Now moving back to pablos question, contact sigma pi. His prices are very good compared to mine (I'm a manufacturer, mikes a dealer).

Hmmm. I don't think I could justify going bigger at the moment. I just have a stock OEM sized WRX set-up which is plenty.
