ok i need new rotors and pads.. my pads have heaps on there but are very hard ones.. they have put a gloss on the rotors and made the rotors go to shit as well..

so basically iv been quoted for

DBA650 rotors $120 each
Bendex ultimate pads $84
or
Ferodo FS2000 pads $130

does that sound ok.. are those rotors and pads ok..

could you get the rotors machined?? might save you a bit $$$

na they said the rotors cant be machined to low.. and id prefer slotted anyway..

any cheaper then those and you mearswell stick with what youve got.

at least stretch to some 4000's and ds2500's

Its not a good idea to run new pads AND rotors at the same time i hear.

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

they will bed in alot better

Hmmm, This guy from DBA disagree's with you..... (taken from MRT forums)

Generally it is not recomended to bed new rotors and new pads together. The reason being that during the bedding process of the pads, excess resin from the pad material is expelled. Bedding the rotor is done to season the rotor material which relieves stresses and lines the rotor braking surface with a light even coating of resin material. Depending on the type of resin in a new pad this can be like pouring a jug of gravy onto the rotor surface and expecting it to be an even layer. DTV from resin wipe off is the result. The amount of DTV that can be generated is dependant on the type of pad. Sometimes its none and on other occasions brake shudder is totally unaceptable. When people say they have warped their rotors bedding in or in the first 1500 kms its generally resin wipe off.

I hope this helps !

well rms quoted me $550 for those DBA 650 and pads but i can obviusly get them cheaper than that price.. damn mark up..

or i also thinking about DBA5000 with ferodo DS2500 pads rms quoted $780 for that. though i havnt got the cheaper price for that set yet. will do that friday

dba 4000 and ds2500 is a very good combo !

and u CAN have new rotors and pads at the same time, just make sure u get someone who knows what theyre doing to run it in.
