Im in the process of upgrading my brakes on my FG decided not to get 6 spot brembos becuase I would need to change my wheels aswell, so I went with the DBA 4000 T2 rotors all round and Bendix Ultimate pads all round and some fresh brake fluid. Cost me just under $900 for everything,

And how do you find them?

Has any1 tried the dba's with stock brakes at a track day? And if so did they work at all or did you upgrade straight away?

Yeah I did I wet (really wet - wipers on full ball) track day at EC about a month or so ago and by lap 5 I was getting massive fade.

I was running T3's with Project MU NS pads and dot 5.1 brake fluid.

I reckon had the conditions been dry I would have had fade after 3 laps if not 2!

And I was was only braking from 220ish into turn one (mind you it was pouring) in the dry you I would have been over 250!

They only way the DBA's would be sort of ok for track days IMO is if your car is pretty much stock as a rock!

I've resigned to the fact now that if I do another track day at EC or WP I'll need some bigger picks and rotors!

Prob washed 90 k's off or maybe less but the rest of the track punished them as well.

I will prob upgrade to Harrop I'd say!

I was running the 410 rwkws tune on that day!
