Hi there! Thanks so much for your interest in our kits. They’ll be launching soon, and we’ll be sharing more details in the near future. To stay updated, feel free to keep an eye on our website. For pricing and availability, it’s best to reach out to your nearest DBA stockist as we don’t sell directly to consumers. Here’s the link for more information: dba.com.au/products/kits/electric-park-brake-kit/. Thanks again!

Hi! Thanks for your interest. In regard to your question about the gold finish on our rotors. Our 4000 Series rotors use heat resistant paint and our 5000 series have anodised hats. Brake rotors are subject to the most extreme conditions... temperature, water, other liquids, road contamination etc. The life expectancy of the colour is extremely subjective to the road and driving conditions.

Ich habe das gleiche gedacht 😀

@@CarPlebs da fehlt doch komplett der Sinn

Hi, Thanks for your interest. This video is just an event recap. DBA recently took some of it's customers for a day out on the track. Please see decription for more information :)

It's an absolute unit!

Love to hear it! Keep enjoying your DBA's!

Thanks! We appreciate the kind words!

@@discbrakesaustralia thanks for providing a quality product at a competitive price with excellent market coverage 👌

You're welcome! 🙂

Hey thanks for your interest. The part number used in this video is DBA53942BLKS which is for the front. For a full listing of DBA parts for your vehicle. Please feel free to use the DBA part finder on DBA.com.au

🤦🏻‍♂️. Correct it should be outside for the caliper.

It just helps prevent any squeaking if there is any. As long as the caliper brake pad slide surfaces have some anti seize on them and the slide pins are greased properly lubricated and the rubber boots are clean and not ripped the brakes should perform fine and have no noise. Normally new brake rotors and pads are nice and quiet but what a lot of mechanics don't do is check or service the brake rotors and then you have issues with brake rotors warping and you wonder why and or if DBA are crap ect... so make sure your brake calipers are in good condition overall before fitting DBA rotors to your vehicle for the best results.

@RBFR01 @RBFR01 the outer side of the pad has no friction on anything. I get what your saying but there is zero benefit by applying anti squeal to the outside of a pad. The outside part of a pad does not rub on anything. May as well add some anti squeal to the outside of my brake lines, what's that going to do.

Check you pads

Hi Stewart, it depends on the temperature the rotors are reaching. You are best to check the heat paint markings on your rotors as discussed at 3:50 of this video. If all the paint markings have gone off you may want to look at the braking systems friction material and cooling methods. Send us a PM on Facebook if you have any further questions.

Hola,disculpa que coche tienes?? es muy potente,gracias

Its not essential to bed in rotors and pads separately. When replacing either brake pads or rotors, it is recommended to bed the new component with the existing one rather than using both new components together. This is because new brake pads and rotors have a smooth, shiny surface due to the manufacturing process, and it takes some time for them to wear in and create a consistent surface.. By bedding new brake pads on old rotors, the pads are able to quickly conform to the shape and surface of the rotors, resulting in better initial braking performance. Similarly, bedding old brake pads on new rotors allows the pads to create a smooth and consistent surface on the new rotor, improving the longevity and performance of both components. Further, different types of brake pads and rotors require different bedding-in procedures. Generally, it is best to check the manufacturers recommended bedding in procedures for your specific applications.

Hi, yes we recommend T2 for off road use, however if your 4wd has an increased GVM or is towing we suggest upgrading to the 4000 Series T3 rotors. Kind regards, DBA

We certainly do. Please see dba.com.au/products/rotors-drums/street-series/ for our Street Series product range, or dba.com.au/au-part-finder/ to look up individual part numbers. Both part numbers you're quoting are active and in stock. Regards, DBA

Thanks for your message, Grant. Unfortunately the combination of characteristics you’re describing is difficult to achieve. Our only ceramic formulation are the ‘Street Series’ pads, however these are not suitable for spirited driving let alone track work. If you are looking for an all-round pad that can do road and light track work, our 'Xtreme Performance' is the way to go. It’s carbon fibre infused low metallic, which naturally means it is quite dusty though. A really well performing, ‘middle-of-the-road’ low dust pad is the 'Street Performance' pad that you mention. It’d be suitable for spirited driving, however not for the track. In terms of sequence of changing the components, either way is fine. You just want to be sure that the existing pads are level and not worn unevenly. If they are uneven, then we would suggest to put in new pads when changing the rotors. For further information, our ‘Buyers Guide - Friction’ can be found on our website under 'DBA Catalogues' Please feel free to email us at technical@dba.com.au if you have further questions.

@@discbrakesaustralia thanks for this - very helpful and much appreciated! Cheers!

@@discbrakesaustralia would u suggest that xtreme pads in the front and street performance in the back with dba 4000 t3 brake discs is good enough for a trackday? The Car is a '18 Audi S3.

@@adotorcida Hi Adrijan, thanks for making contact. Depends on the nature of the track day, number of laps and operating temperatures. Regarding pads our Xtreme Performance pads would suit for a 'hot lap' or so, however if you are looking to do a number of consecutive push laps (a race) than a race pad would be best. Generally speaking if your vehicle is near stock (ie no slick tyres or other major performance upgrades from original) XP pads would be ok for a few laps, however due to the nature of the pad compound and it being formulated for street use, a track session would reduce their service life. Regarding the rotors, yes 4000 Series rotors offer very good performance vs cost in a track day environment, providing that the car again is in original road registered condition with no major performance modifications. I hope this answers your question, if not please feel free to reach out to our technical department via email: technical@dba.com.au They can assist you further for more specific recommendations for your application. Kind regards, DBA

All drilled rotors will crack at some point

@@azza9575 Got drilled rotors since 2021 in my focus ST by polish company Mikoda. They are not top class, but they just have worn out, not cracked. I`m looking now for 4000 T3 because I like to use my ST`s abilities

What type of rexy you got? Wanna get some for my 2002 bug. Easy power upgrades done now need to stop.

ABS cutting in is due to pedal fade from the fluid getting too hot and the pedal becoming spongy.

@@pheonixfps9248 no abs works through wheel slip recognition, not boiling brake fluid , pedal fade yes , but abs is only activated when there’s a difference between wheel speed from one tyre to another in correlation to vehicle speed

@@exploringsydneyandbeyond9059 no, some system do infact have a line pressure sensor and it will activate the abs system to aid in braking. Boiling brake fluid won't give the same pedal feel, hence the fade due to lower viscosity, the system picks up on the reduced pressure in the system, not the fluid boiling itself. Most european cars have these systems now days, and some Japanese manufacturers are starting to trickle it through. Many European manufacturers have different things in their systems, like VW awd system in the amarok being able to lock a front brake calliper so that the contacted wheel gains all the drive. Stability control systems can also have an affect on how often an abs system activates too. Don't assume that slip is the only reason abs activates.

@@pheonixfps9248 thanks for the info

Thanks so much for your enquiry. Would you be able to send this via a Facebook message to our team (facebook.com/DBAofficial/) or alternatively to inquiries@dba.com.au so that we can forward it on to the right people to help you out. Kind Regards, DBA

@@discbrakesaustralia Thank you for the information. I'm looking forward to next race season utilizing DBA rotors!
