Buzzard, hi.

I'm using DBA 4000 with stock calipers and redstuff pads.

I've tracked the car based on max five laps per session with no ill effects, and I sprint the car, (one timed lap per session), again with no ill effects.

All I would say is that you should follow the disc and pad bed-in instructions to the letter.

On saying all that, I will probably go for yellow stuff pads next time because I am generating quite a lot of heat.

My set up is never going to be as good as a big brake conversion, but I can compete well with others on track.

For info, next sprint is at Goodwood on 19th May, (Saturday week).

I looked at DBA's but unless you are still running 17" wheels I found it cheaper and I hope better to go with the standard B5 RS4 setup

yep still 17's
think i'm ordering today
dba look better quality than other brands i have gone with
with a good quality disc and pad this standard calliper set up should be ok for fast road.(afterall it was designed for the A8)
if i go ko4 and do some traking then that is a different matter
thanks for input though.
