Anyone used DBA discs?

[Nelsdir]

Standard discs on my classic 4-pots are warped so need replacing ASAP. Anyone tried DBA 4000's?

If so - what pads - DS2500/Mintex 1144/55 ?

Cheers,

Neil

I have fitted DBA4000's with DS2500 to a customers car and I felt, for the money, that it was a good conbination using the OE 4-pots

I'm running DBA4000 with DS2500 pads on my STI/Brembo brakes. No issues at all, and much cheaper than OEM.

John - who supplied your discs and pads ( & assoc. costs if you don't mind me asking ?

Just clocked this bit on their website

"IMPORTANT NOTICE: Cross-drilled rotors are recommended for street use only and not for racing or track applications. "

I'd like something that will cover everyday use, fast road and track application ?

I note there are two types namely :- 4000 XS & 40006x6

Any advise - my brakes are SO bad at the moment

Thanks

Cross-drilled rotors will crack around the holes with prolonged track use especially in a heavier car (read 4WD Scooby!) but so far they have been OK.

It depends how brutal you are on the brakes.

Cal - I am sure DBA do a grooved only disk?

If not, Ian at Godspeed can supply me grooved disks for your car in a 1 peice or 2 peice design for sensible money!

this has happened to mine, DBA gold, crossed drilled and grooved, only been on the car just over 6000 miles, no track use and i didn't think i was that heavy on the pedal

new discs for me

and a clutch

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like i need to assess whether it's worth changing the discs or just the pads alone.

I'll be lucky if I do track days twice a year now so maybe it's not worth it
