Hi there,,
Have read with great interests your comments. Im not far off doing a brake overhaul on AU1 Fairmont wagon. Have a real spongy pedal so am going to install new mastercylinder,has signs of a slight leak, caliper kits, braided lines which i already have. Just wondering if theres any benefit in fitting DBA T2 Slotted Rotors over standard Protex rotors which i already have. Would you recommend replacing just the fronts or do front and rears with slotted rotors. Also what good quality pads in the front and rear would you recommend. I know many people upgrade to series 2 and 3 brakes, but im hoping to achieve a half decent result with the series 1 gear. Many thanks for your time, Cam. |

If you went slotted all round with a good set of brake pads you will notice a difference in your braking but if the std brakes on this car have been adequate for you in the past then the std protex rotors and a good set of brake pads should be fine if you dont change your driving style. DB1108 and DB1086 are the pad numbers and we can supply you some good street pads from $70 upwards but performance pads are limited.

Many thanks for the reply,,
I actually find the brakes pretty crap,seem to be too spongy with too much brake pedal travel,, hence why ill fit a new master cylinder after spotting the slight leak and a good bleed. I'm pretty sure i'll go the slotted rotors. Can you suggest a good quality street pad that has a good bite as well as low dust? Also are the db1108 the bendix ultimates? Many thanks again for your time replying,, its much appreciated. Cam |
