Feedback On Dba4000

[XEQTOR]

I note there is quite a few guys on the forums running these items.

What are they like guys/girls???

Best pad to go with them???

Im considering changing the fronts over to the DBA4000 slotted/kangaroo paw ones on my 33 as I have the track day bug bigtime!!!!!

Give me a couple of weeks.

Just fitted 4000 series front and rear to my R32. Running EBC ceramic RS fnt and GS on the rear

I'll keep you all posted

(BTW) I ran EBC V2 RS on OEM rotors for TT03. The ceramics work better at low temps for sure. And initially feel stronger. Remembering that brakes are personal. In the early carbon days on the superbikes, guys would run carbon on one side and conventional on the other... prefering feel to outright performance.

They feel no different than standard rotors, however on a track they will last longer than standard rotors due to better heat dissipation.

I've been using DBA4000 for about 9mths now with RB74 front pads and COMP2's on the rear. This RB74 pad is where the real difference in stopping power is

Hi XEQTOR, we use DBA rotors on all of our cars, road and race. The pads of choice are Hawke Carbotic, in the Blue compound. The alternative is Performance Friction Carbon Metallic, in the 01 compound.

I have got DBA4000 slotted rotor F&R on both the R33 GTST and GTR and have found them quite good. A noticeable difference on the time taken to induce fade.

i had them on my soarer and they vastly improved stopping especially from high speed. They were Very fade resistant and i'd definately buy them again

Better heat dissipation.... There is nothing wrong with standard rotors at Symmons Plains, a renown brake tester. The Japanese use good steel and it is well cured by the time we see em (120ks in 10 years)

Trouble is with some of the local product is we get beer cans car doors and all sorts in the mix... end result

Anyhow, I've bought the dba sales pitch and we will test, for five days 2500ks

Im not sure but I think I may have a warped rotor after a track day recently where the front pads(which were suppose to be high quality track pads) wore down to metal on the rotor. Sounds like the DBA4000 might be the go.

Thanx for all the info guys/girls.

i changed from stock rotors with bendix metal kings to dba4000's with ebc greens, and it made a very noticeable difference (note that my std rotors were 1mm undersize). Very initial bite is low, but they only need a small amount of heat before the bite becomes real positive. Only prob now is the std brake lines. I get fluid fade and/or line swelling after a good thrashing so im getting some braided lines very soon. am told they will make a world of difference, and that if i was even considering track work, i should most definitly get them fitted!
