125 odd k from standard pads and rotors! No shudder, no replacements, nothing! Done a few drag days and a couple of track days, Fade large, but returned okay.
Sent an inquiry to DBA regarding 4000 series rotors. Anyone know what they are??

Cheers,
Mike

Nice work ... I am presuming you drive a manual. As you use your brakes a lot less compared to driving an auto.

Ouch. Youv'e been talking to the wrong people. Try a few different forums not just this one. Cam at Hightek brakes sells the gold for $99 each side.
I just bought a pair of the slotted 4000 series, the model up from the standard series which the gold are a part of for $297
