I have had a quote, but just want to compare really...Cheers, ChrisRe info Ferodo Formula (Ferodo TS2000) Edited 11/02/09 08:05 AM by aiboart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased some brakes off him today and he has a great number of options and at prices I couldn't beat anywhere else.I asked him about brakes for a friends BA and he said for around $1500 you can upgrade your front rotors, calipers to 322mm size and put 4000 series and ferodo pads on the rear. If you don't want to spend that much then same size rotors and ferodo pads would be cheaper and a good upgrade for approx $1100.One thing to know if you don't already is ferodo pads come in two different types. Ferodo Formula ($160) are a cheap Thaiwanese option that don't perform that well I've heard. The DS series pads ($250+) are the true Italian pads that perform really good. http://www.compfriction.com.au/brake_pads/ferodo_racing.phpBenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took an absolute punish on the snowies cruise and ive had the fronts glowing and no fade at all. They are far better then the standard brakes and you BA owners who run the standard set up, still, are insane. About $1100 for my setup all round and I have the larger BF size rotors.The ferodo pads are the dustiest pads on the planet but they do there job well and that's the reason for the dust. Other pad options out there are fine as well as I think the DBA rotors ability to dissapate heat is the real advantage, not so much the pads ability to bite.Make sure the anti-squeal glue stuff is applied to the back of the pads to lock them in and prevent squeal. I didnt!I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koppers Member 119 Member For: 18y 2m 9d Posted 11/02/09 10:04 AM Share Posted 11/02/09 10:04 AM Had 4000's all round (drilled and slotted on the fronts) with ferodos and f*cked both rotors and pads in no time. Cracks throughout all the holes. Ferodos were far too soft. Now run 4000 golds slotted with ebc yellows on the front and reds on the back. Much better combination. Yellows do need to be kept warm though for optimum performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slotted only is the optimal combination. The only harder level of driving possible, in order to destroy good pads/rotors is track work or those who like to rest there left foot on the brake pedal.I.B.
