xr6t ego Member 1,112 Member For: 17y 9m 27d Gender: Male Location: PERTH WA Posted 20/11/08 11:17 AM Share Posted 20/11/08 11:17 AM I've just fitted some DBA 4000 slotted rotors to mine with Bendix ultimates and braided lines. Although I'm still bedding them in, I can tell that they are a vast improvement over the standard brakes. I've also noticed alot of brake dust though.So far I think that it was money well spent.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
