I was running DBA 650S rotors with QFM AR1M pads during the rallysprint series.
I have now changed the discs to DBA 4000T3 which helped, but I have no confidence in the pads.
They are ok for the road, but the pedal doesn't have enough bite and feel wooden.
Going to PMU HC+'s before next outing.

One day...

I will be fitting Project Mu SCR Pro front rotors as part of my Brembo upgrade when I get all the stuff together. I will only be fitting DBA street series drilled/slotted golds on the back, not worth going to much more on the rears in my opinion as they hardly do anything anyway.

Currently running DBA5000 slotted on the fronts with Ferodo DS2500 pads and standard discs/pads on the rear and have always been happy with the 5000's as a rotor and I suppose mostly the performance. I did use the A1RM pads in the front for a while but wasnt that impressed with them in the feel and they were a bit harsh on the discs.

I will be interested to see the difference in the new set up to the old when done. I will probably stick with the DS2500 pads in the new set up too. They seem to work well and have been good to my rotors in the past also.

I only have them in front with pmu scr pro. First thing is u have to bed them in very carefully, otherwise they will be noisy for their entire life span.

If u do so, they r very quiet, excellent initial bite, quite friendly to rotors(even wear), but a bit dusty.
