DBA Brake Rotors which kind?
Getting ready to buy some DBA brake rotors for my 04 Disco. Can't decide between the DBA Gold Series and the DBA 4000 series.
Opinions? |
I can't speak on the 4000's, but having run the Gold Series for over 10 years and 100,000 miles, I have no reason to change and when I do, I will go for another set of Golds.
By the way, the pads you use makes a lot of difference, I run Akebono Ceramics, synthetic DOT 4 and stainless lines to deal with the heat generated from the extra stopping power of these rotors. |
Yup, after doing some research I've been leaning towards the golds and that is probably going to be the way I go. Any opinion on EBC green stuff pads? Stainless lines will be going on as well.

Make sure when you replace the brake lines you use a good synthetic brake fluid to handle the extra heat. Castrol makes one of the best for your trucks, Pep Boys among others have it.

Thanks for the reccomendation Mike, I went with the Akebono pads with the DBA rotors.
thx... |
I send most people to Expedition Exchange for the rotors if you can not find the correct on with a Google search.
s for the pads, Amazon or E-bay for the Pads, using EUR 676's for the front and EUR 493's for the rear. |
I bought my pads and rotors off of Ebay.
|
Just curious, what did you oay per rotor and brake set?
|
Well I'm sure I probably could have found them cheaper if I had looked around more, but I was ready to buy so I went for it.
The front AKebono 676 pads cost me $72 The rear Akebono 493 pads cost me $56 The front DBA rotors were $230 The rear DBA rotors were $280 |
