Hi

I 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 advice

Thanks

Craig

That sounds like a good deal. The OEM ones are a ripoff and they seem to wear quickly. How much ?

Premium Brake calipers are different and use a different pad to standard brakes.. Ive ordered my PBR kit and should have it next week.. Huge difference in pedal feel alone with the Premium upgrade, farking HUGE!

Have you priced the PBR replacement parts for the front from Repco or Bursons?

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.

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 are

K388-033 Left

K388-034 Right

These are still $290 each.
