FYI I fitted a set of the new DBA4000 T3 Club Spec rotors along with some Race Brakes "street" pads on the weekend. Had originally order the standard left/right slotted 4000's from my local Repco dealer, went to pick them up on Saturday and they had ordered 1 x front and 1 x rear disc ! The sales guy then went to the back of the store and pulled out a set of these T3's with the same part # but no left or right marking, he had no idea what they were, could find nothing on the DBA website and couldn't get onto his DBA rep to find out. After a bit of stress I ended up taking a punt and grabbed them. On the drive home I called DBA in Sydney and spoke with a machinist and he explained these had only been out a short time, were not directional and that I would love them. Anyway when I got home I ripped the Brembo's out (45,000K's of regular street driving and totally stuffed), installed the new gear, bedded in the brakes and after a couple of hundred k's initial results are great. I never had any issues with the factory setup and to be honest so far I have noticed no real difference, which is fine by me. I am just hoping these last a lot longer and produce less dust. By the way I ended up paying $200 for the set of pads and $207 for each rotor (they charged me the same as what they quoted for the standard DBA4000 slotted discs, not sure if that was right?) but pretty happy with the overall price. Has anyone else fitted these and what are their thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we have had no squealing, no shudder and they stop on a dime. I also have to mention how good the Race Brake pads have been; considering they pull me up just as well as the factory set (Ferodo I believe) I am stunned at how little brake dust these things produce, I should have put these on the day I picked up the car! I would recommend this setup to anyone when it's time for change over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braking from cold seems fine for street driving and only gets better once they warm up. No squealing at all either. Thumbs up for this combo from me. :biggthumpup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 17/09/11 03:59 AM Share Posted 17/09/11 03:59 AM Just installed the DBA 4000 slotted T3 series 322mm fronts with ebc red pads. At first I am pleased but I did get a slight shudder 2 or 3 times in the space of about 30minutes of driving. Wasnt any hard braking either. Was when going around corners under light braking. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 18/09/11 07:51 AM Share Posted 18/09/11 07:51 AM Yeah, I read up a little on the net about bedding the new brakes in. I have had them on now for 2 days and haven't noticed it come back. They seem to be getting better and better. And when they get warmer they only get better :DHow ever... Under low pressure I am hearing a squeal, Cant make out if its the rears or fronts. Only changed the fronts. Any tips on figuring out which brake is squealing? I have tried getting the missus to drive up and down the street. Still cant make out which one it is. I doubt new brakes would squeal though? I properly cleaned the brakes before installing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
