Ok, since putting 33′s on the GU, I have noticed the brakes arent ‘quite’ as nice. So it was a good excuse to do a bit of a upgrade
I ordered the DBA 4000 Series rotors and the Bendix 4×4 Pads.
The rotors took over 7 weeks to arrive!!, Seems dba only do ‘runs’ of these rotors, so if all the stock has been taken, you have to wait until they do another run before you ge them…..
I will also mention that as part of the upgrade, I had some braided brake hoses made up and Qdad fitted them during the 100,00 kay service they did for me, just these on their own did make a noticable difference to the feel of the pedal.
Heres the original front rotors next to the DBA 4000′s
Heres the pads compared..notice the lack of ‘cut’ in the middle of the bendix pads, I hope this wont effect there ability to clear.
And then installed with the new bendix pads.
Rear installed..
All in all it was a easy upgrade with all 4 corners taking about half a day.
Did it make a difference ? Yes, they sure did… But…The brakes need to heat up though before they are any good…Im pretty sure that these are the pads, I will wait until they are ‘bed’ in and see if it improves, otherwise I will replace them with something else.
