DBA Disc Rotor Group Buy - Expressions of Interest

[Roy]

u can have bigger better brakes on the front, but obviously at some point the car would do an endo!

My thoughts on the matter after having finished a sensible $$$ upgrade to my car. (in case someone out there is interested)

I have aftermarket front rotors on my R32, (330 x 32mm) and brake balance is fine. So dont be concerned with brake bias.

I have a small problem with locking rears at the track, but that has more to do with the pad compound not coming up to temp as quick as the fronts.

One thing ive noticed with my slotted discs, is that the slot does not go to the very outer edge of the rotor, so when the slots fill with pad compound, and due to inertia heads to the outer edge, the pad dust has nowhere to go and begins to accumulate their.

After a short period of time a groove is now being worn into the discs about 7mm from the outer edge.

No big deal and doesnt effect performance, but ideally if i had to buy again i would be trying to find rotors with slots to the outer edge.

Ive been told metallurgically you need much higher quality materials to be able to do this and still avoid stress fractures and cracks propagating from the outer edge of the rotor.

Maybe because my rotors arent that high a quality they are unable to do this.

Just a FYI for the n00bs like me...

My local "Better Brakes" mechanics (do my whole families braking needs) said it would take between 1-1.5hrs to fit 4 new rotors at a cost of $65/hr labour.

So about $100 and they can be fitted (about 1/3rd of what i thought it would cost).

[doxximus]

well i spoke to one of my mechanics he is getting me the rear 4000 series gold dba rotors

he said u cant get rear slotted only rotors for skylines yet only fronts in the 4000 series

and he said that for the 5000 series u actually need to buy new calipers

[red900ss]

I'll tally the results and call them up next week.

[doxximus]

ok so now they dont have the gold availible and have the slotted only dba rotors ahaha im so confused

[slip]

Have we got a rough price for the kangaroo paw style unslotted ones yet? I'll be interested in the fronts if the price is right.

Front rotors won't fit on back.

Oh, and I'll have to withdraw from this deal too I measured my discs last night and they're only worn half a millimetre. Obviously been replaced at some point.

[benm]

I'm out too unless the price is something silly. My tyres are more worn than my brakes will ever be so ima put the money towards a new set of Dunlops.
