CraigH Member 100 Member For: 21y 10m 2d Location: Canberra Posted 28/09/05 12:10 PM Share Posted 28/09/05 12:10 PM HiI have the Ford performance brake package and the rotors have worn heavily.I can replace the rotors with DBA 42104's (either 6x6 or XS) for less than half the ford rotor price.Also the guy at DBA recommended Hawke Brake pads (Ceramic) as they worked well and produced a lot less dust.What has been your experience with these replacement, or do you have better choices ?Any adviceThanksCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OEM ones are a ripoff and they seem to wear quickly. How much ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rotors are cheaper elsewhere then could the calipers be cheaper also?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go anywhere near Ford for parts, as they only come from PBR.As I mentioned in another thread I bought the full PBR Performance Kit (PK8) for $1885 from Bursons 2 days ago. Repco wanted $2700 over the counter for the same thing. Have you another choice than Repco. Ford at the time of building the car want $2995 for the PBR Kit in blue.

Vented slotted rotors for the front slotted solid for the rear and steel braided lines and high performance pads.Yes they do.If you have a look at the picture on the Herrod site its the PBR kit.Amberley Autos (a known name on this forum, HP-Factory ) gave me a price fitted and it was less that $2500 Herrod want for the kit.For my own inerest I checked with PBR, their part numbers for the performance slotted rotors areK388-033 Left K388-034 RightThese are still $290 each.
