I think it's more pad choice they go well with aggressive pads.

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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86664-rda-vs-dbahow-much-difference-between-the-2-also-brembo-padsfg/page/6/#findComment-1525443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still quite alot of km's though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86664-rda-vs-dbahow-much-difference-between-the-2-also-brembo-padsfg/page/6/#findComment-1525445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
