James B Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi All, Had the Zed for 18 months now and still only done 4k miles in it. When I first bought it I needed to replace the discs all round. opting for EBC turbogrooves. Like a few on here I've had problems with vibration building caused by DTV. EBC said whoever fitted the discs didnt check for runout which caused the prob but stangely I've never heard anyone else having this problem with anything but EBC rotors. Abbey skimmed my fronts 1000 miles ago which sorted the problem but vibrations are staring to come back so I think time to just bin the front EBC and start again with fresh dics and pads at front. Any recommendations for replacements and places to buy? The EBC are about £250 but after the experience I've had I really dont want to 'buy cheap, buy twice' again. However the DBA front rotors I saw were £650 ! Is there a middle ground, a cheaper place to buy or any advice you guys can give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi James, DBA is middle ground mate, however they are a superb rotor and married up to a decent set of pads and you will experience trouble free motoring on your brake set up for many miles. In stock and good to go Drop me a pm if I can help you further Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 had the same issue, went with DBA4000 series discs with ferodo DS2500 pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 DBA may be more expensive, but I've had my DBA5000 fronts and DBA4000 rears with DS2500 pads on for over 30,000 miles (almost four years) now and have only just had to replace the front pads (cheers Alex). Front discs are still fine with hardly any wear and should last another 20,000 miles no problem. Rear pads and discs are still almost like new. Good value over the long term in my opinion. Braking performance is exceptional as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
