That tells the story. You can finally have brake pads that perform to a street level and make FA dust FTFY you're about the only person I know who either drives his car WOT everywhere or 100% on the ABS ..... seems a bit hard to believe you can’t appreciate a good street arrangement in any case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when hot they are exceptional Just dusty. I don't settle. I am get the best for the job And I don't drive WOT 100% just probably more than others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaStars Donating Members 81 Member For: 7y 6m 6d Gender: Male Location: The Gap, Brisbane Posted 11/01/18 06:01 AM Share Posted 11/01/18 06:01 AM I have the DBA t3 4000 rotors and the Project Mu HC800 pads on my G6ET, braking performance is great and I am super happy with it, however brake dust on the HC800s is quite bad, I have head the PMu NS400 pad have way less dust but don't quite perform as well. if I clean my car and wheels on the weekend by the next weekend the wheels are visually covered with dust. I think I will try the NS400 next time, but I wouldnt use another other brand than the Project Mu stuff have always used there pads. and as for the rotors the DBA T3 4000 cant be beaten for value.

I rate them highly because of the low amount of brake dust. They don't bite as much at the Bendix ultimates do, but hell the amount of brake dust from the ultimates were rediculous. I have the 19" Lux rims and by the time 2 weeks had gone by after a car wash, the rims looked like the 50th anniversary rims. Yeah the dark grey ones. Never again will I go with the ultimates. I rather stick with the PMU 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bite I missed and returned to the Ultimates for. One set had a squeal occasionaly at slow breaking speeds. Went PMU's, the initial bite wasn't there. Brake dust doesn't worry me - means the pads are doing their job lol. Have had the PMU's smoking like fark after hard hill runs - was looking for flames, ultimates not so much. Can't speak on rotor wear, not sure which eats them harder. Think I've used both at the track - neither left me wanting, but was definitely there for fun, not on any race car driver honest limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they don't at all for any more than a lap or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 8m 4d Posted 12/01/18 01:02 PM Share Posted 12/01/18 01:02 PM I here alot of talk about ultimates and PMU 400 -800's but nothing about Bendix SRT's. I ran a set on my BF typhoon and found them a little bit dusty but a pretty good street pad when they were warmed up. Never did track the car, but definitely push it hard enough on the street to get a good feel from them. They did chew up the 355 rotors but that's what ya get from above standard pads.
