If it's just for street use, have you considered just some slotted dba4000 rotors and a pad upgrade. Fine for street use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Edited 28/02/11 12:06 PM by -= Kermit =- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discs.. There are some benefit but not as much as some will have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
