Looking at changing the rotors and pads.

Have had a few places recommend Hawk Ceramic Pads which I have never heard of before.

Doing a upgrade so will include 4 pot Brembos from an FPV, DBA42102XS rotors.

Anyone used the Hawk Ceramic pads?

Well do a fluid flush and replacement also.

If not used Hawk before any experience with Ceramic pads at all?

Hi mate,

I have heard good things about Hawk pads, a mate who is into club motorsport has used them and is very happy, they work well from cold and are ok on rotors. One word of warning, go for the slotted long-life DBA rotors instead of those wanky gold-coloured X-drilled and slotted rotors, which crack when really punished. Hope this helps..

dont really like the gold colour. agree and think its a bit wanky also. but do prefer xdrilled and slotted. so no real other option.

Hi,

Sorry if I offended you, just want you to have a good product that does the job.. Treated with a little kindness, they are'nt too bad, DBA are a decent Aussie product and deserve support!

no problem. was meaning there is no other option for a xdrill and slotted from DBA to suit the car without the wanky gold colour.

if they crack and its early days one would think of sending them back like a frisbee.

Get some high temp grey paint and paint over the gold. That's what I did...

I'd second the comment to steer clear of drilled rotors. Always crack around the holes.

Ill jump about the boat too. x drilled are sure to crack under heavy stress. DBA make a top rotor that can handle plenty of punishment and reduce break fade significently.

Ferodo DS2500, DBA 5000 series rotors. Used these on my track WRX and was a great set up on budget.
