DBA's Rotors

i have a pair of front brembo xdrilled for my '00 max and it has more than 30k. however, it starts cracking now. so now, i have to end up in getting new rotors. in my mind, i am thinking to get DBA's (Disc Brake Australia) rotor 'cause i hear that they have good reputation for brakes.

my question is: how do you rate DBA's rotors and Brembo's rotors?

thanks in advance

X-drilled will eventually crack. NO matter which brand you get.

Really???Are speaking from experience or from hear say? You've had ever brand of X-drilled rotors on your car? Very unlikely!!!! I've been wearing these same X-drilled Stillen 6th gen front rotors for 6 years now and rear 5th gen Stillen for 9yrs now on my 2003 (rears were from my 2000)...Not even one of the contain a crack! My point is...For normal street performance X-drilled are awesome, but for hard core competitive use go with slotted. Cyrogenically treated or shot peened rotors with properly radiused holes will survive hardcore abuse and handle wet condition better than any slotted in competitive events but they have to be treated!
