NB8B Rotors and Pads

Postby Daz » Thu Jun 22, 2017 10:15 am

What are people using these days ? I have slotted DBA's and RB74s in the car from over 10 years ago, looking to replace everything for more of a sport street setup.

OEM NB8B rotors/calipers with W6.5's (and brake ducts) for me on the track with no issues. DBA T3's are expensive when compared to OEM and do not give any real benefit. W6.5's have a wide heat range and to date have had zero fade from them, painful to use cold though.

For a sport/street setup stick to OEM and put in a set of Winmax W3's or AR1M's. Both these pads work well from cold and will take a fair bit of heat.

DBA DBA4545S Rotors, Hawk HP+ pads

I've run ducts to my brakes as well.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
