bjcrown Donating Members 182 Member For: 19y 4m 1d Posted 13/02/09 05:05 AM Share Posted 13/02/09 05:05 AM I have a BA MKII XR6T 4spAuto Luxury Pack. Everything is stock except for: it's edited, has tranny oil cooler and 2nd cold air intake. Not looking for any more power.But I'm looking to get better brakes. Here is where I need some guidance... please!I'm thinking of buying DBA 4000 serious slotters rotors for the fronts with Feredo's 2000 series (?) pads. (Calipers stay the same).Is this setup ok??? or do I also need to change the rotors and pads at the rears?If anyone knows the part numbers of the rotors and pads - please advise.Your advice with pads / rotors would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Your pad and rotor selection is very good and generally affordable. You dont have to change the rears if you only want to do the front that is fine, though do the backs eventually.I.B.

And the ferodo part number is in another thread somewhere close by.I cant comment on the braided stuff as I dont use them, but I hear there overrated and that the standard lines are good enough.Others will beg to differ.I.B.

For the piss poor amount it costs for braided lines, if you are going to spend a few hunge on rotors and pads, your silly if you dont buy and do the lines while you are there at the same time.Brakes are really something that shouldnt be done on a budget. I know my loved ones are priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF YOU LIKE BRAKE FADE. . .as a result of the rotors failing to dissapate the heat build up generated by the pads is not a brake line problem.I.B.We all are, but merely agreeing with his post versus adding one with substance are two different things.I.B.
