I think it's more pad choice they go well with aggressive pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have to agree with Ozwalker. It has to do with pads.I have DBA T3s and I had shudder.I believe that when the endures get sent back and either the Bendix ultimates or the project MUs go in, the shudder will go away.

I always thought the harsher the pads the more prone the rotors are to becoming warped/shudderOzywalker I assume you use DS250 or whatever they are called? Arronm you use bendix ultimates yeah? Would these bremtec endures be considered a soft pad? And therefore prone to leaving resin; where a harsh pad will almost act like a constant machining for the rotors?

I've always gone for high temp rated pads and found the ferodo DS2500 pretty good and the remsas where also pretty good.But It's not a daily and gets driven hard, only really get 5 to 7k out of a set of pads maybe 10 to 15k from the rotors.Need brembos.

Mines basically a daily....and rotors usually last 50,000kms+ or so (with one machine during that time)...pretty sure I even read they can last 100,000kms? (Stever?)....replacing that often I can see why you prefer to go through rdas....imagine the cost if you were burning through t3's that quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still quite alot of km's though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
