ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 19y 8m 30d Posted 30/09/05 05:06 AM Share Posted 30/09/05 05:06 AM Just priced the DBA-42104, this is the replacement for the Ford rotors.All my prices are from Bursons as I have always found Repco dearer.The DBA-42104 are $220 each.If you check the Ford site you will see the exact PBR kit pictured that Ford use, except in red.

Ive ordered my PBR kit and should have it next week.. Huge difference in pedal feel alone with the Premium upgrade, farking HUGE!I have the PBR kit as well, and I agree totally You sure they are PBR or just an imitation of them?

Consider also the RB74 pads from racebrakes - heaps of power under repeated hot, hard braking but little dust. Both are available in the different front diameters for standard and premo sized rotors, the rears are the same size standard and premo.Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast, reliable AND cheap.It's generally parts only, and you gotta know the part number (check DBA.com.au for their catalogue etc) CheersNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigH Member 100 Member For: 21y 10m 2d Location: Canberra Posted 01/10/05 05:32 AM Author Share Posted 01/10/05 05:32 AM I would not mind having a DYNOWOG tune, however I am booked in to Jakes in a week or so to have one. Am using the standard 8psi at present.Was trying to get all any repairs, mods etc done before week of 25th when my new car arrives and this one goes to my wife.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 19y 8m 30d Posted 02/10/05 04:13 AM Share Posted 02/10/05 04:13 AM Glad you found a solution that you were happy with.I know the complications you have to gone through in trying to work out the best solution. Not easy to be able have a rotor and pad that you know will go together.I have gone through a similar decission myself recently. I'm waiting to have the PBR performance kit fitted this week, not by Ford even though the car is still under warranty.Nice choice of car to give the wife, makes me wonder what you are going to by that would be better than the XR?Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
