DBA Brake Upgrade

[JTank1]

After seeing @Stinger GT SS review the DBA XP & SP pads, I decided to try them out myself on the Brembos. I was able to order them in the US through KNS Brakes out of North Carolina. They had fast shipping and responded to my email the same day.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for pads! Still early but so far very happy with the XPs on the front and SP on the rear. No noise and they fit perfect. Pads included counterweights and the black backing is a rubberized sheet, similar to the OEM pads. These will produce more dust than the stock ceramic pads though.

I’d rather have a dusty pads than the crappy oem ones.

You should be pleased with your choice & yes a bit of dust on your wheels is better than it sticking to your rotors.

Exactly my thought. I can live with some extra dust. Not like the originals were dust free anyway. I noticed the first hints of brake shudder a few weeks ago and decided to take care of it before it got to be a problem. 100 miles in now, so far very happy.

Also took the time to clean up some rust between the rotor and rim. I think galvanic rust between the rotor and rim is a bit of an issue for us. Put the tiniest hint of antisize on the nuts and WD40 on the mating surfaces for good measure.

I just replaced my pads with these and got the t3 4000 rotors. Clunk when changing direction or on very bumpy road and quite a loud brake squeal. How on earth are yours quiet? Is there something I'm missing?
