New rotors

[Wh1stl3r2]

72Tkms and the OEM front rotors on my Navara are shot. Minimum thickness is at 26mm, and they are at around 25mm. The center part is also thicker, which makes me think it might already be cementite. Must be all the loaded trips in stop and go traffic.

Called up local Brembo distributor and they have nothing for the D40 so I'm choosing between these two DBA rotors. Street series T2 slotted and street series blanks. I know Aussie made DBA are great but I'm told these series are now made in China. Cost is close to OEM. Anyone with experience running the same series rotors?

I would assume the China made DBAs should still be good so long as they follow the same standards. How long is the warranty?

Try checking Runstop also (Thailand made). I'm considering these for my Hilux (might go with Brembo pads when they have already). On FB you can check Adacon marketing.

Vinj,
Inspired by bro Sarsi's cellphone stinginess I'll probably buy online and have them shipped here so no warranty. They should be at least as good as OEM though, right?

A friend had Runstops installed before but they warped earlier than his OEMs. Not sure where he got them from, maybe he got fakes but to be sure I don't want to risk it. Re: pads I still have a couple of EBC (Greenstuff & Yellowstuff) so I think I'll be ok for a while. How are the Brembo pads in terms of dust and noise?

I do hope they are at least as good as OEM. Heck for some Toyota models, the cheap replacements i bought in Banawe were even better than OEM in terms of warp-resistance (I've had early warping OEM rotors on the Gen 9 Altis, Innova and Hiace).

no experience with the Brembos yet. Good to see feedback on runstops so i have to research more as well. I have a feeling my Hilux stock rotors are going to warp early too.

Yeah, OE spec. It's a little cheaper than the OEM Toyotas when i inquired before (for a previous gen Fort.)

Mura yan if thats the case. I got OEM toyota brake pads for the fort, 2k lang sa casa. Brembos 4k yata?

Yes that brand. Where do you get your EBC? Thinking of getting 1 for my Jimny.

Wow. Even Toyota OEMs get warped? I guess everyone is cost cutting nowadays. At least now I know it isn't because of my "driving style".

Hmmm. Icerbrakes doesn't seem to have any feedback from any forums. Only Brembo and DBA are discussed more frequently. The EBC pads were bought online, I just forgot the site. Sorry, I'd retrieve the source but I was locked out of my old email account.

^CB, that is possible (yung mga trip na magpausok ng rotors ); in my case i always cool em down or avoid hitting the rims or rotors if i hose down the car after driving in the rain.

It's really more of the quality i'd surmise. My Gen 10 Altis didn't have the problem (my driving habits and conditions are consistent).

Yung mga mahilig magcarwash after using the car, prone to warping of the disc brakes din diba?

UK forums madalas ko makita EBC nga. But was thinking baka mahal shipping charges

If I recall correctly I bought the pads from DCPerformance along with my Koni shocks. Shipping was relatively cheap as I used a balikbayan box consolidator. Mura din lang siguro kung pads lang, liit lang naman nito.

To quote a tuner friend, "kung magpapalit ka rin lang, palitan mo na ng maganda." I just hope DBA doesn't just rebadge Chinese blanks for their entry level offerings.

The reason why I got the Konis was the adjustable rebound damping. Adjustment is cumbersome but aside from that I can't complain. Ride is great when paired with medium duty OME springs. Well worth the money IMO👍

Oo na hindi, pag sobrang dami ng grease nawawash out at na cocontaminate yung pad at rotor. Mas una lang napupudpod yung part na di contaminated ng grease or brake fluid. Hindi naman talaga nawawarp ang rotor. Pwede ka naman gumamit ng DRY Lubricant katulad ng MoS2 na di nawawash out at di nag-aattract ng dust instead of grease. Ang problema nga lang sa MoS2 pag nalagyan yung rotor baka kahit irephase ang rotor di yon maalis.

May Brake Drag Reduction Clip/Spring ba yan?

Palaging nakalapat yung brake pad sa rotor pag wala nun. Yung rubber boot lang kasi nagtutulak sa pad pag release mo ng brake pedal. Pag luma or expired na brake fluid pag traffic at uminit na fluid di rin mag reretract brake pad kahit pa may spring. Semi Metallic pati ang friction material ng Brembo. Parang ginto ang price ng rotor at caliper pag Brembo.

Make sure na within specification ang Lateral runout kung hub assembly yan. Kung wheel bearing palitan mo rin. Make sure na may Torque Wrench, Dial Indicator at Micrometer yung mag-iinstall para masiguradong within specs yung mga parts before nila install. Napadami kasi jan na napakagaling magdahilan. Yung manufacturer ng parts ang sisisihin sa kapalpakan nila. Nagkalat kasi nationwide ang shop ng mga SIRAniko. Pa wheel alignment mo sa dealership pagka install para mareset yung mga sensor ng stability control.

OK yung quality ng EBC rotor & pad sa F150, chamfered yung slot walang kanto. Medyo maarte nga lang sa brake pad.

Honestly di ko pa nasilip ng baklas yung brake assembly sa harap. Pag salat lang sa center part ng rotor ramdam na yung bulge sa gitna. Last time nabaklas ito pinareface lang yung rotor. Will check that spring kung meron. Hub bearings ito, di pa nagpapalit since new. Baka nga palitin na din. Thanks for the tip!
