zlaya Member 26 Member For: 15y 9m 9d Posted 28/07/10 11:31 AM Share Posted 28/07/10 11:31 AM Gents,My 2003 BA T which I purchased second hand last year has a set of PBR breaks which, I was told, were installed as an upgrade soon after first mods were done to the car. Now, the front rotors, after more than a 100K Kms, need replacing. So I am looking for some advice as to: 1. Where I can get a good price on a pair of PBR front rotors and what price range I am looking at, and 2. Would I be better off getting a pair of DBA4000s or something similar, providing they will fit the above configuration (would they???)Can anyone shed some light on this for me before I start spending money and making mistakes... Cheers!Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good product and id suggest ringing race brakes out of melbourne or sydney. Couldnt get a price cheaper than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlaya Member 26 Member For: 15y 9m 9d Posted 28/07/10 11:47 AM Author Share Posted 28/07/10 11:47 AM Mate, I would be more than happy with a pair of slotted DBAs at the front, but the questions is if they would fit me front PBR config? See, I am not even sure what size disks they actually are, and frankly cannot be stuffed getting the wheels off to measure. It would be great if someone could just confirm what size the PBR fronts are (purchased some time in 2004, I am assuming there would have been only one two pot aftermarket PBR upgrade setup at the time...), and if the DBA 4000s would fit the combo...Thanks again, Z.

Sorry dont know what size it is but there are hundreds of threads on here with all the specs. They did have larger discs that came with the upgraded (fpv) style calipers and larger rotors. Have a good look through the wheels and handling section and you will find all you need to know. But the only way you will be sure is to take the wheel off!

zlaya Member 26 Member For: 15y 9m 9d Posted 28/07/10 12:35 PM Author Share Posted 28/07/10 12:35 PM Thanks mate.The calipers are not original, as the whole set is PBR (red two piston pbr calipers at the front and single red piston calipers at the back).I'll have a good look through all the topics to see if I can find the needed info. Meanwhile, if anyone has any exact specs for me, I would me much obliged!Cheers,Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also pbr 2 pots at the front and single at the rear. painted red. That just what they used as stockers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlaya Member 26 Member For: 15y 9m 9d Posted 28/07/10 12:39 PM Author Share Posted 28/07/10 12:39 PM Just to confuse the issue some more.. I was told the whole kit was an upgrade from the original, so I just assumed. Sounds like I'll be taking the damn wheel off after all!Cheers!P.S. Just out of curiosity then: What size are your rotors and do you have DBA 4000s on now, and if so, how are they performing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What colour are your calipers? Do they have fpv on them??? Well as for the dba 4000 I have not had a drama with them at all. no more shudder for me.

zlaya Member 26 Member For: 15y 9m 9d Posted 28/07/10 12:50 PM Author Share Posted 28/07/10 12:50 PM Red calippers front and back, and they say "pbr", not "fpv"...I think I'll go with the DBA 4000s, as soon as I can figure out the size! Sounds like all you guys are very happy with them.On that note, anyone else who can shed some light on the issue? I really don't have time to get under the car... Cheers!
