Front brakes are stuffed.
I've had a set of Ferodo Excel pads sitting in a box in the boot for ages, so I was intending to use them. I've ordered DBA 502 slotted rotors, which I'm picking up tomorrow. Anybody had adverse results with either of these parts? Any issues about them working together? |

I have DBA slotted and when fitted those pads I found them to be hopeless when cold. Not too bad with some temperature but almost dangerous when cold.

Yeah, well...I've picked up the rotors so what I've got is what's going on.
Apparently DBA recommend that you bed in the rotors with used pads, rather than the new ones because, and I quote"...Generally it is not recomended to bed new rotors and new pads together. The reason being that during the bedding process of the pads, excess resin from the pad material is expelled. Bedding the rotor is done to season the rotor material which relieves stresses and lines the rotor braking surface with a light even coating of resin material. Depending on the type of resin in a new pad this can be like pouring a jug of gravy onto the rotor surface and expecting it to be an even layer. DTV from resin wipe off is the result. The amount of DTV that can be generated is dependant on the type of pad. Sometimes its none and on other occasions brake shudder is totally unaceptable. When people say they have warped their rotors bedding in or in the first 1500 kms its generally resin wipe off..." See: http://www.mrtrally.com.au/forums/to...p?TOPIC_ID=103 Well, I'm not about to put the old (rooted) pads on my shiny new disks. I'll take it easy for a coupla hundred kays and see how they go. |
