I then sold the car so didn't think much of it.

Last car was a J31 Maxima and I used RDA slotted and Bendix Ultimates - beautiful combo, no issues.

Now I have issues with DBA and Redstuff on my XR6T. I don't think you can blame the pads. Maybe I should pull the rotors off and just put on RDA slotted ones. They are much cheaper too...
Don't be put off the DBA products are a very good quality product but running ebc greenstuff or redstuff and Bendix CT pads will cause the issues you have and it is the resins in the brake pad that leave deposits on the rotor face around the slots that are high spots and cause the issues. DBA rotors run with Hawk pads and many others will give you major benefits in your braking.
