Ph num 0395531160DBA 4000 Fronts (42107S) = $209 each.Mentioned to Cam that I was going to list price on forum and he said no problem.Thanks SteveIs that the standard size brake? Or the large one?Will the 42107S fit on the front of a BA with standard BA calipers?Or do I need to get the 42104 Edited 23/10/09 10:18 PM by Bender Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25384-dba-4000-rotors/page/20/#findComment-946465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 09/11/09 05:43 AM Share Posted 09/11/09 05:43 AM I just had DBA 4000 series, 42107SL and 42107SR for the front and 42108SL and 42108SR, fitted to the car. These are suited to BF XR6 Turbos, just make sure that the disc size is the same... I go them from Race Brakes Sydney for a great price, the URL is below, Matt the guy there was really helpful. $1150 for four rotors, all slotted and the pads... For the pads I had Ferodo DS performance for the front and Ferodo Ultimate for the rears. The brake performance is hugely different and it really inspires confidence when you have some speed on, knowing that you can pull up the car in a good distance.My link Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25384-dba-4000-rotors/page/20/#findComment-952140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pads can put down a transfer layer during the bedding in process, this will dissapear once pads have settled in.

My DBA car can get quite loud when the brakes are working hard, this is normal. In normal driving they should be very smooth and quiet.

The same process must be done with the rear, some people are unaware that rear rotors can cause brake shudder.
