They squeal like anything at the moment and I think it was Mick at PitLane who pointed out that the front rotors have a bit of a lip on them - so suspect the previous owner has not changed his rotors since he bought the car brand new. The opinion at PitLane was that machining them prolly would not help. So am looking at getting the dba 4000 slotted T3s again like in my BA. Gotta farrkn research the sizes all over again for front and rear rotors now. I'm hopin I can use Akebono pads with the Brembos as well. They were good on the BA with dba 4000 slotted T3s.

I believe he's doing a forum discount on t3 rotors and would probably do a decent deal if your after pads and fluid as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
