I went for the DBA 5000 rotors & Bendix SRT pad, which are apparently new series of pads. They should be going on next week. I'll let you know how they go if your interested.

Guest Guests Posted 10/12/09 08:54 PM Share Posted 10/12/09 08:54 PM (edited) DBA do a cross drilled & slotted 5000 series disc, pretty sure you can get it in 4000 aswell. Hell you can buy a brand new set of 6 pots for $2500 with discs and pads...

Most of the Carrera Cup rotors are drilled, and they all have hairline fractures around the holes.V8 Supercars arent drilled, neither are Brutes, neither are mine. Drilled rotors look good, that's about it.DBA rotors FTW, or I wonder how much AP rotors are? Mine were 900 a corner, but mine are 2 piece.

I'll let you know how they go if your interested.I went RBA slotted rotors and was planning on going ferodo pads, however they were out of stock, so I ended up getting Bendix Street Race Track pads for the same price. $ 1100 fitted for the lot,gotta sayI'm pretty happy with that.Seems to be have a heap more bite than the stock FPV set up. Still need to do some proper testing though.Sure has been a busy day Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64208-brembos-4-pot/#findComment-963334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
