Buy DBA rotors and Bendix GCT pads from any SuperAutoCo- they have a great service life, make minimal dust and won’t warp on you.
If you replace. DBA rotors are probably as good as youre going to get locally.
DBA T3 rotors and QFM pads on mine.
I went DBA
Front rotors people usually get dba or ebc
I run ATE Powerdisc and ceramic pads too! The discs look amazing and the lack of dust is lovely.
Full ATE PowerDisc and Ceramic pad brake overhaul done today - I’ve run these discs & pads a few times now on previous E39s inc. both my Jap import E39s and they’re superb.
Excellent bite from the off / cold and little to no dust.
ATE rotors. Check the callipers, they don' t work properly.
Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.
I bought new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. Car is 370z.
Did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.
Today i went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, fluid will change.... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90kmh to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then i checked paint markings, all changed colors, indicating rotors exceeded 630°C.
And that was one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but i feel slight judder around 120kmh, and when i brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.
Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint?
