DBA Rotor Durability/Cracking
My rotors are warped so it is time for a brake upgrade. From my reading, and price shopping, I've decided I want to get DBA's over PowerSlots. However, after a lot of reading I still cannot decide on the Slotted Street Series, or the Slotted 4000 Series.
My question is, for those that have, or did have, the 4000 series, did you experience any cracking in the small vents that extend to the end of the rotor, or any cracking for that matter?
For added information, I found the 4000 Series for the same price as the Street Series from a non-forum vendor, and I don't track the car (but you never know).

The DBA 4000 Rotors was running with:
Original Caliper with Thermlock-Pistons, DOT5.1, Air Ducts.
4x20min Hawk DTC70
1x30min Carbotech XP12
1x30min Carbotech XP12 (wet cond.)
cooling down the break after each session
i had no problem when i finished the sesion, i park the car and one hour later they look like that!

WOW !! Looks like it gave way right where i was worried about. How long had you had these before that happened?
Oh, and for what it is worth, I ended up not going with any of the rotors I asked about. Got a front/rear set of slotted rotors from TPS Motorsports. Ok quality for the street, not sure i would trust them on the track though.
