Default Rear Brembos: DBA 4000 or Godspeed? (personal experience)

Hello peeps,


In the last week i've been searching forums to make a decision about front brakes and i'll go with Godspeed 2 piece discs 100%...but for rear axle i was thinking about DBA 4000 T3 1 piece rotor. They're pricey compared to Godspeed slotted rear rotors, i think twice the price shipped. I want to know only from personal experience if the DBA's worth extra cash. My personal opinion is they won't worth the extra money. Car will meet hard street driving + track driving.

I was thinking the same way since i know some people that go on track with near stock rears...i assume Godpeeed grooved rear disc with good pads will do the job...
Thanks for the input buddy!

the rears generally dont see the same temps that the front does but to state they don't do much is misleading at best.............

ideally you want at least the same pad compound at the rear to 'balance' the car an in some cases we run/advise stronger rear materials because of bigger brake kits, etc. that have shifted the balance forwards

to add the DBA discs are one of the best on the market albeit at a totally different price points to others mentioned - we carry Subaru options in stock and supply the full range if required

Thank you for your input ASP!
At some point i was thinking the same but i thought it's wrong...to put a slightly better pad on rear due to factory brake bias, considering i'll have BBK. The DBA's are great, through the years i had some brakes from them, just that i don't think they're worth double the price for rears.
