After a series of bad luck with dba 4000 series club spec rotors (which were properly installed) I now need an alternitive slotted rotor for the EL Xr 6
Any ideas guys, i have thought of theese i paid $ 200 each for the dba's so around that price range would be ok and another $200 for a set of pads
i had constant shudder about 500 km after i installed them, tyryed everything but to no avail. i spent my money on all the best parts and was bitterly dissapointed, dont get me wrong they stopped great but for the money i paid they should be shudder free i think. i hav now since written the car off in an accident
yes RDA are cheaper, Chinese made,DBA Australian.......
Thats not saying the RDA's are bad,just that labour is much cheaper than here.
I have not used RDA so I cannot comment on their durability but they are gaining some market share due to price obviously........
well it looks as if im going to settle with plain old dba slotted for the moment and not sure what pad compound they will put in. I have decided to not do them myself but get a "professional" to do it, it seems that everytime i do it the car ends up written off a few weeks later hmmmmm. I know the guy quite well and he has never had a complaint (apart from me) with the combo he fits
Sounds like your problem wasn't the DBAs - rather incorrect wheel torque, wheel bearing wear or something else - perhaps a seized caliper slider even???? Sounds weird - DBA's have never failed for me on either car. I'd be really interested in what went wrong....
no-- wheel torque was good, new wheel bearings adjusted properly, caliper slides lubed up, hub seal positioned proberly, bedded in to dba engineers reccomended bedding procedure with ferodo formula ts2000 pads used after initial bed in had finished
It wasnt pulling to one side at all either so that couldent cause it, i even had a wheel alignment done after they were installed
