Morning,
What's the damage on 4 rotors and pads for a AU P250 with Brembo F/R? Doesn't need to be Brembo brand, but would like nice quality without bank breaking price. The car is pretty much only used on the street, with some towing. The ability to withstand a track day once in a while without meltdown would be nice, but it's not likely to be often.

Thanks,
Yes, 4 piston F/R. Price looks very reasonable to me. I know it's a pretty tough question, but what would you expect the life of that lot to be? I'm pretty sure what's on the car now is the OEM stuff, and it's just nudging 70k, but the pads are dangerously low, and the rotors look shagged (but I haven't measured). Performance wise, these were more than plenty good for everything that I ever threw at it. Is this new combo better, worse, or same?

I had a browse at the DBA stuff, and noticed you recommended the higher end rotors, obviously to keep in line with the pedigree of the vehicle/Brembo gear. Regarding the pads, there was $200 difference between them. Do you have a link to both of those you are recommending? And whether it's $1300 or $1500 is neither here nor there to me, so I'd likely just get the more expensive ones, unless you see a negative to that? They wouldn't wear the rotors faster or something else? And lastly, do you have all this in stock - if not, how much wait?

DBA T3 slotted rotors and pads from $700 or genuine Brembo xdrilled rotors and aftermarket pads from $980. FG GT 4 piston brembo disc rotors and pads could be fitted to the earlier model 4 pot set ups but the earlier models did have a different product from Ford when they were released.
