Specifically, the iron flake size is slightly larger, but I'll spare you all the other details!

One note: Only buy the 4000 (1-piece) or 5000 (2-piece) series rotors. The Street Series, although a few bucks cheaper, does not have the thermal post-processing techniques. Those few bucks are well spend on the better versions as they will typically repay themselves many times over.

Those are nice. I would keep looking on the web for a better price. Pm around and i think you could get a better price.

Well sure it is a blessing !!

Once I started putting more hp on my 1LT, I realized the need for stronger brakes.

I guess that I will combine the DBA 400 rotors with hawk ceramic pads.

I have known the owners of DBA for quite some time. They are quality people that make a quality product. Would you expect anything less from an Aussie company?

I have Racing Brake rotors on the front of my car, waiting for the rears due in Oct.

Hardly any wear on the rotors after an exciting day at the track. Used up the pads.

Pushed them to the limit in Fontana for the Hurst Muscle Car Challenge.

I have trusted DBA with my life, and will continue to do so in the future.
When you are heading in to turn 1 at 140+mph, you want to know that your rotors and pads are going to get the job done.

The DBA's have been flawless and are on both of my cars.

Sounds Great!

What pads do you use with the DBA rotors ?

Rob@WretchedMS 07-29-2010 06:05 AM

I run the Hawk Ceramics for daily driving, and i use Cobalt Friction Race pads for the track.

The Hawks have a good performance and are quieter then some of their other more aggressive compounds for the street.

The Cobalt Frictions are expensive, (still need to ad them to the site for the Camaro) but they are BASS ASS!

ps, Yngwie is the man!

I was thinking about combining DBAs with Hawk ceramics but waiting for some recommendations. So thanks man.

Yup Yngwie wrote it on his fingers (DBA stop me if you dare :headbang:)

Well I will put them on my list of (must buy mods) and will order them after testing my CAI next month.

So thanx to you both Chris and Rob.
