HI,

has anyone replaced their Brembo rotors and pads with anything other than genuine parts.

The trade price I am quoted for OENM stuff is choking me.

Mate,

Just went through this exact thing with my TS50 last week. $3500 for rotors and $1500 for pads! No way! I ended up getting some awesome slotted 2 piece aluminium rotors and non genuine pads and the whole thing was like $2000. They still stop like nobodys business and look great. If you are interested I can get the part numbers for you.

DBA have a replacement disc for you. It's a two piece item (much better) and the part number is DBA52102. It's the new 5000 series two piece rotors and are top of the range items. You can choose a colour for the hat too, but I'd stick with the black or the chrome one myself, but if that red hat matches the Brembo colour, then that would look awesome.

Wouldn't you love to say that about your car?You loosers

Yeah they look like the ones I got. Steve, can you get the Brembo gear for that price or is that the DBA stuff?

Thanks Guys,

I'm reluctant to fit non genuine stuff, but there only seems like there is one alternative - that is to fit the DBA stuff. The rotors themselves can be replaced for $200 each after the first buy of the hub and rotor. Must be a significant reduction in unsprung weight as well.

I will post when I have made a decision, but if you hear of any other alternatives, please yell out.

I've got to say, for a 5K option, $3,500 for front rotors and pads is shameful and something Ford would not like prospective GTP owners to know about....

Won't complain about the rest of the car though!

Yeah, go with the DBA two piece set up, awesome brakes from what I have heard. What pads have you looked at? Does Bendix have a front pad for the Brembo caliper? By the way, where about's are you? I might be able to help you out. PM me if you like.
