spinr33 Donating Members 964 Member For: 13y 8m 4d Posted 03/09/12 09:10 AM Share Posted 03/09/12 09:10 AM My standard xr6 brakes where crap even after a fluid change, I replaced them with RDA slotted and qfm pads so much better before I was scared the car would stop, mine had stock discs and Bendix stealth pads before the change garbage..... Bendix had 80% life binned them Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81737-new-brake-options-if-needed/page/2/#findComment-1289176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinr33 Donating Members 964 Member For: 13y 8m 4d Posted 03/09/12 09:40 AM Share Posted 03/09/12 09:40 AM (edited) Yeah RDA rotors are good people say they are abit on the soft side asin wear out quickly first set I have owned seem fine I would pair them with either qfm or their own ebc pads as I heard the Bendix chew them badly for under $200 with new caliper bolts I carnt complain fitted myself pretty easy I heard from other people that DBA went downhill recently with their move to manufacture them in china like year or so ago.
