NORULZleggy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well I am wanting to get some new rotors for my 08 2.5I. I had a bad experience with some fading and wet rotors and brakes. I was wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of some DBA Mid-seires rotors, or something else. I have been looking and searching the boards but have not found anyone with what I have been looking for. I want some aftermarket rotors with hawk pads. I really do not want to use the LGT brackets and go with LGT rotors unless I have to. I do ofter like to hit a few back roads and go to my home town and hit some nice one's with friends. Seems like they just make most for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 DBA's catalogue only has fronts for the 2.5i. Standard series part #6484000 series part #4648 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I thought Willwoods was making a kit but I guess not pads are no problem and yes those above mentioned front rotors are NICE and when you think of it they are the braking system upgraded fronts and stock rears arent uncommon even amongst the Ej255 guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 There's already a Wilwood kit available, it's LGT and 2.5i friendly. But I'm sure the OP is looking for a more cost effective alternative. I'm using the DBA 4000 slotted front and rear, they've been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_J Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 DBA's catalogue only has fronts for the 2.5i. Standard series part #648 4000 series part #4648 I didn't know that...at least they make the fronts for us. So pads/rotors/calipers are all different? I thought just the calipers and rotors were different size but pads are the same? The DBA's seem to be the best value for the $...I have those on my to do list.

The DBA's seem to be the best value for the $...I have those on my to do list. They're all different between GT and 2.5i, but the conversion is direct bolt-on as long as you got the LGT caliper brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORULZleggy Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Revspec has a great deal, check them out or PM them. I have been looking at different post and people have said with new rotors and hawk pads it help out the 2.5i a great deal. This is why I am not going to covert to the LGT brakes.
