mook05 Member 108 Member For: 22y 4d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/05/04 11:26 AM Share Posted 16/05/04 11:26 AM Hi guys,I have been running the EBC Kevlar pads & Slotted & Dimpled Disks on my Land Rover for a while now and they are great. It's no XR6T, but over 2ton of 4WD driven by a V8, needs to be able to stop pretty good.Main reason for going EBC was less brake dust as factory stuff was terribly soft and dust was a joke, if you left it on the wheels it actually ate away the paint.EBC do alot of race stuff, cant be too bad...Doesnt squeak, doesnt dust (much) - im pretty happy with them.They do different levels of pads from street use kevlar up to full race ceramic......Anyway just my .02 worth...Cheers,Michael.

So now I've got Ferrodos and they're great. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10758-replacement-brakes/page/2/#findComment-123084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here.The ultimates are only rated to 450c.Your DBA4000 rotors are rated to over 700c.The only pads I've found close to matching the rotors are ferodo formula's.They're rated to 650c.
