They stop very well and never shudder even when hot. If you are thinking about getting a set make sure you paint the rotor hat as they don't come painted like the DBA's and therefore will rust over time. Other than that, can't beat them in value.

On the other hand these discs are pretty 50/50 in terms of being good or bad, so I dont know which way to steer.I think im gonna go with those and the red ebc's.

That's not to say there isnt any crap out there. Edited 16/05/11 12:44 PM by Paulie2256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just a matter of "putting" them on and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tightening your wheel nuts the wrong way and you can have issues. Watch this... There are 4 parts to it, that's no1. I think everyone changing their own rotors at home should watch it.

Uneven or over tensioned wheel nuts can cause brake shudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a or access to a dail indicator its worth checking the run out when news discs are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
