The part about the pads not getting hot enough is a crok of sh*t. How else would you have leaked resin onto your rotors. Both DBA and EBC make good products, they dont work well together for some reason. Try Bendix ultimates or something generic like that.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to be the worst for dust. But they are a good pad, I have them with the same rotors you have, they work well compared to stock.. no more shudder, but more dust... They do squeel alot when being pushed hard for a while. Edited 08/10/07 08:29 AM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of black dust to let you know they are working. All good pads will dirty your front wheels, if you don't want dust, put the covers back on.

The brsaking was fantastic, a massive improvement. This lasted for abot 10 000 km, then resin leak, resin baked on and an aweful shudder started. Afetr some complaints and investigation, I was not the only one, I can almost garantee this is what happened to EXR6T, not that the pads did not get hot enough.I love both products and would not hesitate to use either again, but would take a lot of convincing that they can work together relaibly for a prolonged period of time. I know you have commented on this before Hiddeous, so I can assume this is not a new setup and has been relaible for some time. Which leads me to the conclusions, that in some fundemenatl way the DBA 4000 rotors are vastly better than the stock DBA rotors.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did follow the run in procedure to the letter of the law and did take it very easy for the first 750-1000ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
