Do they chew the rotor up or are they good for the street? Do they need warming up prior to working well etc?That's a good price to as even in the early BA days my PBR kit was $2k plus fitting but made a huge difference imo...Can you recommend a good price replacement rotor and pad set for the Brembo kit? My F6X (TT = TubbyTubby) will need them soon I think! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockies Member 68 Member For: 11y 3m 5d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 31/07/14 02:21 AM Share Posted 31/07/14 02:21 AM I did T3 Front and T2 Rears. QFM HPX pads all round. Motul brake fluid and Goodridge Stainless steel lines.Was around the $800 mark fitted. Most stuff bought online for cheapest price I could find.The Stainless lines were probably the best part of the upgrade. Have driven my mates XR with the same upgrade but no lines, mine has more pedal feel and stops a hell of a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 3m 4d Gender: Male Posted 16/10/14 09:34 PM Share Posted 16/10/14 09:34 PM Hi Guys,I have to sort some brake shudder after just under 80k kms. I'd like to do an upgrade if at all possible. A few questions:* Will bigger rotors fit inside the factory XR6 Turbo 18" rims? * What rotor upgrade will fit inside the factory 19" rims if I do a wheel upgrade?* DBA lists 355mm "Police Upgrade" rotors (PN: DBA 42102) as an option. Will they fit into the 18" rims?* If I am stuck with the standard rotor diameters for the 18" rims, are the DBA 4000's the best option? * Is it possible to fit a larger rear rotor on the FG XR6T and still keep the factory calliper or do I need to change callipers too?PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 4m 30d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 21/12/14 06:03 AM Share Posted 21/12/14 06:03 AM Have had 3 sets of dba on the fronts with no issue. 2x on stock calipers and now a set on Brembo. Lots of kilometres! Brake squeal is the only thing that I noticed moving from the stock rotors. Same Remsa pads.So many variables with brakes like driver habits, bush condition, pads, bedding in procedure... makes it hard to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
