I have read through the forums, and the DBA T3 4000 series seem to be the way to go keeping some budget in mind, would love to get some brembos but cant really justify to fork out that cash atm. however I am seeing heaps on conflicting info on the fourms, ebay and DBA itself. In regards to the stock breaks being 298mm vs 322mm I wanted to go the BDA T3 DBA42107S which are 322mm. will these fit my car? I believe it has stock calipers. its a 2009 G6E Turbo... I was also thinking the brembo pads as well look like good value. link to Rotors http://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/dba42107s-dba-4000-series-t3-slotted-brake-rotor.html link to pads http://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/p99008-brembo-brake-pads.html any input would be great.

Grab some pads while you're at it, read this thread for recommendations but ignore freaky cos he can't make up his mind... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88776-fg-brake-upgrade/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok but I fit them myself, no problems just need to be sure I get the correct rotors thank you again for the clarification. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some good pads while your at it. As said before 322mm rotors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockies Member 68 Member For: 12y 15d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 16/06/17 08:11 AM Share Posted 16/06/17 08:11 AM Have to also confirm the T3 upgrade with goodridge stainless lines, works a treat. Can't remember what pads are in it, might be QFM HPX or something similar - but no issues with "squealing" at all. Replace the brake fluid (flush and replace - so 2 bottles) while your at it Also, I'm pretty sure I only have the T2's on the rear, and T3's on the front - so that's an option if price is a issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(same as on the rear of F6 and Gt's with Brembo fronts) they look much better and pull the car up better. I have braided lines and the discs are RDA slotted and dimpled. These you can get at a good price on ebay but don't by hard pads. I have the EBA reds tuff Kevlar pads. work great and easy to clean as the minimal dust has not metal. With same pedal pressure I pull up much quicker. This set up is more than capable of taking a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try them on a track or in twisty roads until they're actually hot and see how long they last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought a set to put on the rear. At $125 a pair, I'll just ditch them if they are junk. They can stay the fark away from the front though.Trying to spend the money where it counts so I can do carpet, blinds, deck, etc!I've bought braided lines to replace the old 2004 rubber stuff, 328 rears RDA with Bendix pads and 322 fronts DBA T2. Just need to pick up the ns400s if they are ever back in stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
