deadlydave86 Member 40 Member For: 17y 4m 12d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 23/09/07 01:59 PM Share Posted 23/09/07 01:59 PM Of late I've been getting a crap load of shudder when I step on the brakes. I'm thinking of going with a set of dba 4000 slotted rotors and a set of Bendix pads. I have a few questions though?1. Will this give me a substantial upgrade over standard?2. Will the dba rotors warp in the same way that the standard ones did?(Given that they will be the same thickness???)3. How much more Brake dust can I expect?Thanks in advance Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been due to me overheating them on a track day.I now run 4000 again (new ones) with QFM (aussie owed) pads and they are the best ive owned. No dust or noise and stops great.Hopes this helpsCheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendix pads tend to be very dusty. Edited 24/09/07 01:41 PM by wasxaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will depend on the type of pads you have and how you drive.I have only just installed RDAs so I can't tell you from experience. However, a lot of people say the RDAs are as good as the DBA for everyday driving, particularly the slotted rotors.They will do me. I can't justify the additional cost of 4000/5000 series DBA rotors.
