ive always bedded new pads and rotors together, never had a problem, and dont have the problem of uneven pad wear / rotor wear having uneven contact.

for the ultimate, go dba 5000's and ds3000 pads, work from cold with no fade and they'll pull you up in a heartbeat

stepping down to the dba 4000's and ds2500 pads, they take a bit to warm up, and prone to fade after prolonged use, brake relatively well

scratching the bottom of the barrel, dba 650's and ts2000 pads, bonus is they work cold, but fade very fast, and only pull up maybe a little better then stock.

Check my workshop/group buy thread if your interested in buying some rotors!

Those prices you posted on your first post for the dba650's and the ultimates are good. Ive got that setup, and it works well.

im going to buy them next week.. but just deciding on which ones.. ill get a price on the better ones tomorrow..

So is it ok to put the fs2000 pads with the dba 4000 rotors ??

http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_...005_v3_web.pdf

is there any difference with the drilled to slotted... in the 4000 series there.
cuase im really liking the cross drilled gold 4000 series.

is it mainly that u cant use it for motor sport
somone told me they can also have a chance of cracking the drilled ones ??

the other question i had was does the 4000 series keep the same dimentions.
width and where caliper sits etc

the dba 650 are they classed as the standads on the dba site cuase i cant see 650 on there

ok prob going for 4000's but they want me to go past and show them my discs they asked if i had a metal ring around the disc which i dont think i do. somthing to do with abs. they said there is heaps different versions.

fitting these tonight is there any trick to doing it as in getting calipers off and changing pads and removing rotors etc etc

thanks

Suck some fluid out of the resevior and leave the cap aside until done, when you push the pistons back into the caliper watch the resevior incase it gets close to overflowing.

Just make sure you dont let the level get to low either or youll put air through your whole brake system, and that would suck.

are you on crack? rotor manufacturers state you must run new pads when you replace the rotors....

they will bed in alot better
