Neither. Rotors were claimed to be warped by them.

Default Bingo. I don't understand how a "floating rotor" can be damanged by a bolt that is to long?
Would it not bottom out into the ABS instead of warping the rotor? I've only driven on them for a total of 4 days with the longer bolts and have had no performance issues. Dealer removes wheels and claims longer bolts warped my rotors. I cry B.S. Oh well.

Refresh my memory, are the DBA's the Austrailian manuf. If so, are they slotted?

TIA,

Shane

Default Yes and yes. Although they also make a slotted/drilled and a plain vanilla
but the slotteds seem to be the most popular.

Ooops, I meant rotors, that's what they are going to hit and they would also grind the bolts too.
