I will be able to give them some better stops tomorrow after I feel that they are ready to go but the double demerits aren't prob the best time to be testing brakes!Anyways see below a pic of them fitted with the Project MU pads fitted:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emailed DBA about it, no response. I have issues forever with DBA discs, like I said I have punished the factory rotores with Ferodos in and they never once showed signs of giving up. I will say the DBAs with the Ferodos bit hard but the things just didnt have the life. I have to get them machined now. Wont be doing them again.

Wont be doing them again.I agree, the 4000 DBA are a little soft.We used 4000 and PBR performance pads on F6 325mm discs and the pads and discs wore out from new 32mm to under 30mm in 30 thousand Ks. Went EBC Red and RDA gold this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
