DBA Europe

[vxr monaro]

DBA has an european distributor in scotland. Reading the website the discs are only about £150 each has anyone tried them?

Errr, i dont think so. VXR discs are only available in the 5000 series from DBA, not the standard series, and they are not cheap! Bear in mind the "disc only" price is just that. You need the bell too. The bell and disc price in 5000 series is quite dear.

I have not tried the cheaper DBA's but have used both 4000 & 5000 series many times and they are excellent.

Roger they seem to list the street series & 4000 for the 6.0 VXR & the street, 4000 & 5000 for the 5.7 VXR. Although I didn't bother cross referencing against their database. I wouldn't be shocked if the distributor messed up though.

Really? I looked at this only recently on the Aussie site. I suspect a lack of understanding with regard to the different brakes at the UK end, because both the cars you mention use identical brakes! Either that or i cant read.

But yes, the 4000 and 5000 stuff is good quality.

I have just had a butchers at there website and it says they do Street series and 4000 and 500 series disc's for the VXR Ro prices starting at £130....

Edit.....

i think there disc size's are wrong on there site.

Yep can confirm if you look UP VX then monaro the disc sizes they have are wrong. but look up Holden HSV GTO and then correct and prices are a tad more... 4000 series starting at £180 each..

I have 330x32mm front, 315x? rear DBA 4000 series discs on the ute. They have done 6 hard driven trackdays. The last 3 with DS3000 pads (very aggressive pads) and using soft tyres.
I will be upgrading to the 5000 series later on in the year but only because of trackday abuse
Overall the discs are very good quality

Red stuff normally are, they are a pretty aggressive pad that also tend to wear the discs quickly to.

i priced up the discs with them last year for replacing my harrop set up and this was the reply, not sure how that compares to standard.

The 5000 series isn't really comparable to the standard ones though as it is two piece.
