I will be able to give them some better stops tomorrow after I feel that they are ready to go but the double demerits aren't prob the best time to be testing brakes!Anyways see below a pic of them fitted with the Project MU pads fitted:- Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74387-new-dba-4000s-going-on-the-car-on-thursday/#findComment-1098799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emailed DBA about it, no response. I have issues forever with DBA discs, like I said I have punished the factory rotores with Ferodos in and they never once showed signs of giving up. I will say the DBAs with the Ferodos bit hard but the things just didnt have the life. I have to get them machined now. Wont be doing them again.

Went EBC Red and RDA gold this time.
