EOI: Brake rotors and pads

[SeriesIIGTST]

*****WA ONLY SORRY******

Hi all,

One of the forum members here in WA, Dsturbd, has kindly offered to hook some members up with a great deal on brake components, in particular DBA 4000 slotted rotors and matching performance pads. I know i'm in need of some and a few people have also expressed a casual interest so I figure a group buy may be in order.

Pricing has not been confirmed yet and obviously depends on numbers but bank around $250 each rotor and $65 for a set of pads. (Purely guesses)

If you are interested, please note your interest within this thread. I'll post more info on products and pricing when available.

Products:

DBA 4000 series Slotted rotors (no cross drilled as they tend to crack)

Bendix Ultimate Pads

Greenstuff Pads

Feredos Pads - apparently better than greenstuff

Prices:

Rotors - $245 each (4000 Series)

Pads - $45 set (Bendix Ultimates)

Pads - $230 set (Greenstuff)

Pads - $180 set (Feredos)

Fluid - $65 litre (Elf Brake Fluid)

If you would like to place an order, please PM dsturbd directly.

need rotors - be very interested at right price but you can keep the pads

[MarkR33]

probably a silly question

but rotors are they the big metal silver disk things?

and do they just mean you can stop quicker??

[SeriesIIGTST]

yeah, that's them, the big shiny metal discs. I'm particularly looking at the slotted rotors as these will dissapait heat quicker than standard rotors. Won't necessarily pull you up harder. Pads will do that. A combination of good pads and good rotors = better braking. Good pads + stock rotors = slightly better braking though also.

If you want more info on the actual product go to http://www.dba.com.au

which pads you thinking of getting? I owuld prob be interested in them as I am still using the standard ones......

[rob77]

I might be interested, depending on timing, on the rotor's only as well.

[R33 Impul]

Count me in, front pads & rotors

[MrGTST]

I am certainly interested at the right price... I will need all 4 rotors and probably need new pads too as my current setup is :thumbdwn:

[Driver]

Im interested if i can get the money

[R33 Impul]

Hmmmmmm maybe rears depending on price

[skyzerr33]

just be aware you have to get correct series

one of the DBA skylines series has a known warping issue with general road use on a skyline. They last on average 4 weeks then u need a new set.

the 4000 club spec series are teh goods though got them on my car very happy with them

[MrGTST]

I assume that we are looking at the 4000 club spec series rotors based on the first post... Can you confirm this for us dave?

[SeriesIIGTST]

Yeah, i'm 99% sure they are the 4000 series rotors. That's the one's i'm after. I'll confirm with Dsturbd once I get some prices.

Cheers

[JUDGED]

:flamed: Have the fronts done with slotties, after a set of rears now. Are you thinking about the rears as well????? Im using Top Serect pads for rears, Endless fronts - no dust

[Nizmo]

no dust? man im using Hawks on front Bendix Ultimates on back ....... dust city!! WAHHH oh well - she sure brakes good!

[jonn]

I'd be interested in the rotors.

[Driver]

I want front rotors, better to be safe than sorry

[Driver]

I dont know so much about brakes but you can use stock calipers with these rotors on the skyline right?

[ix9]

One question: Slotted AND cross-drilled are prone to cracking? WTF ?

How the hell can all the rally cars/supercars use cross-drilled if they are prone to cracking?

If the stock rotors were drilled then I'd probably agree, but aftermarket (and specifically designed) drilled rotors should be better, and cracking shouldn't be an issue...

Anyone shed some light on the subject?

Plus the fact that slotted/drilled look WAY more horn!

[SeriesIIGTST]

Driver, yeah, you can use stock calipers.

Kym, from what i've been told, the cross drilled rotors work better when hot, and kept hot (like in circuit racing/rallying etc.) rather than constantly warming up and cooling down like they would on a street application. This apparently causes them to crack. However, i'm no brake expert but that's what i've been told. Of course it could be :bs!:

Judged, yeah, rears as well i'm sure. I'll confirm with Dstrubd, next time he's online.
