I have rba 4000 slotted rotors as well - I wouldn't say are phenomenal - but they do a reasonable job. I really got the combo to get rid of brake shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz & Adam outstanding job guys well organised, planned and executed. I dont go on runs very often, because of my awkward social skills, but when I do and what I see from you guys and all the other guys helping out is bloody fantastic. As for the run well that was pretty ordinary wasn't it. :spoton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are an excellent pad but too high a metal content.The run was good and you should come out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of me running out my warranty is officially dead and buried. Also the two limo's leading the charge into Eildon lol (before I realized I was running low on fuel ), Dags I know I was sh*tting myself most of the way don't know about you. Hats off to all the organisers, very well run day look forward to the next one. Vids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was feeling like that before lunch cruise, but after Nakkas insisted that I just leave it in performance mode I had the best of more control and feel of the road than with the gear changes. If you had a manual I envy you.Now gotta buy new shoes.. Edited 29/08/11 05:28 AM by Dillz Removed overquote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left it in performance mode the whole time and it didn't really miss a beat, I couldn't see any benefit in manual mode through the twisties. It's good for roll ons and maybe on the strip but that's about it imo, I think some of the guys were using it but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I manually shift. Its alot easir to drive and a lot less turbo lag.Now Rusty doesnt have the jump on me.....SUFFER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good thing I didn't have better brakes, I was having a ball lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
