dba Steve,

have they found a replacement for asbestos in the State's? This seems to be the big whinge here.

OT

Wheres the from SEMA Steve cant seem to find the thread anywhere.

Dangle a carrot pay the price.

Hoppers Stoppers are doing the Gold slotted drilled DBAs for $150 each inc GST. You can call them on 03 97486950, they are nice people and they are totally aware of this shudder problem and more than happy to discuss it. Fair and honest advice, good service, and no 1000% mark ups.

My car needs a new diff next Thurs before it turns into a GT-P and the dealer said to order them in and they'll fit them with new pads for nicks.

Had the full brake "fix" before the Melb Ford trip.

Gave it a hard time all trip had to stay behind Falcoon for miles

Done over 3000k since and NO problems, no shudder, no squeaks.

I am happy at the moment

but those big red brembos <drool> maybe if I was good Santa would bring me some.

Yes! Buy some Brembo's and come and see me when you want new pads! Retail for front pads only are $1156.49! Thanks for coming. :lol:

My AP front pads are only $330.00. Something to keep in mind.

Give me a break. My feet have barely hit the ground. :(

I have a few pics which I can post next week.

Vik,

Not sure. I haven't had much time to check it out.

Scotty,

There are a few good pads around in the U.S but they don't cater for many domestic Aussie vehicles unless it is a common PBR caliper.

The Brembo pads are Ferodo FM1000

The AP pads are Ferodo DS2500

Very similar compound not so similar price.....

So for those of us with the standard set up???

Steve, it seems that the trip to Mecca didn't solve (narrow down) the problems or the possible solutions.

Should we just grin and bare it?

Unfortunately the BA seems to have an oddball caliper so far which doesn't give you many easy choices.

I would like to find out more about the caliper mod/change if there was one. The Late model camira has a very average caliper as well so there is no point retrofitting that to a BA.

At the moment you can spend a few hundred dollars and prolong the problem from occuring. Spend a few thousand and stop the problem from occuring, or grin and bare it until there is a definite solution for the standard brakes. This problem isn't happening to everyone so it must be related to driving style/conditions.

I'll pay for a set of used Premium calipers *laughs* well as money permits. I have no shudder now but expect I won't be lucky - I never am
