Thread: DBA Brakes

Gday Col

Front DBA528X
Rear DBA093X

The X is slotted and crossdrilled.
Replace with an S for slotted only

Thanks mate, greatly appreciated, will give you un update on your tweak when I get it out in the desert later next week, but 1st impressions are very good, it has improved the mid range power/torque no end.

I have just performed the same change on my D2. This is what I posted in October.....

"I bought the rotors at Autobarn and they were a good price compared to the standard issue. They came in at $158 ea.

The rotors come from DBA Australia and they do have a good website to check what type of rotor you require.
The part numbers are DBA 4528SR & DBA 4528SL. These are the part numbers on the boxes.
On my receipt they are DBA 528SR & DBA 528SL."

I have recently discovered that I was supplied the 4000 series rotor instead of the standard slotted rotor.

The difference....I don't really know. The materials used is most likely the same but I have pretty little colour strips for heat temps...most useful on a FWD

Lyndon.

well, come on Lyndon,,

the improvement is HOW good?

what pads did you use?

did you change them yourself?

what did you have for breakfast?

Yeah.....Ok Pedro....maybe I should have posted this....

"a quick search on here will uncover heaps of advice about non-genuine rotors and pads,,

hi-performance,
low "black crap" pads,
vented,
crossdrilled,

mine will cover the front rims in carbon(?) in about a week,,"

Bring back memories does it

But to your questions..

1. Very Good. Bites better. You have that feeling " this will stop"
2. Bendix 4WD pads. No squealing so far.
3. You know the answer to this one.
4. You don't know the answer......but you could do a search or poll on this.



Cheers.

Thanks Lyndon, I`ll get onto our local idiot this week and see what excuse he can muster for not being able to get me a quote.

The DII brakes are not really awe inspiring, they do stop you when they have to but not with a nice progressive pedal, my 110s brakes are a hell of a lot better than our discos, even with the bigger tyres, but that may just be the difference between an auto and a manual.
