    BRAKE SHUDDER ISSUE

    After reading through this thread, it sounds like even if Ford replace the disks on our XR6 there is a big chance that the brake vibration will be back pretty quickly. This leads me to a question about the DBA brakes. I like the idea of getting a set of DBA slotted rotors and it sounds like they will both increase braking performance and be less likely to warp. However I have no idea how to go about getting them. What is the best way to go about it? Do you go to a specialist brake shop where they can fit them etc? Do you need to upgrade the brake pads as well? I really don't have a clue how to go about it. :blank: Also, approximately, what sort of cost is involved to go to these DBA slotted rotors (including fitting etc). The XR6 goes in on Tuesday (to the Ford Dealer, to get them to look at the brakes) so any advice / comments you can give before then would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    BRAKE SHUDDER ISSUE

    Turbo6man: The reason why I don't want the disks machined is because we have already had the disks machined at around 7000km. The fact that we have had the disks machined and that the problem has come back (worse than ever) suggests to me that machining the disks again will only be a temporary fix, and in another few thousand kays or so, the problem will be back. Also, it sounds like the second time the shudder appears it is much worse than the first time. This is certainly the case with our XR6. The car moves around violently under all braking. Like ed-au-ba-xr6 said, it's going to require a lot of machining to get it smooth again.
