Thread: New DBA rotor design - clubspect3

  1. #1

    Default New DBA rotor design - clubspect3

    had an interesting chat with Greg from GSLrallysport about getting some new rotors

    seems that there is a new rotor designed called the clubspecT3 which replaces the wiper slot design of the DBA4000 series and above

    more info here T3_web
    its an interesting design, and looks pretty wicked imo

    Just ordered a pair of DBA4000 as my rotors are shot according to the stealership (32000km...) will be mating them up with remsa pads. see how they go

    Looks like the old version, but with curved slots instead of straight slots.

    Got any more specs/info about them?

    lets hope they finally decide to make the 5000 series for the MPS, because if they do they will steal the MPS market

    5000 series are like 3x the cost, tho they look very good I would guess that they woudl be lighter as well seeming the hats look like an alloy of some sort

    anyways, installed the 4000series with Remsa pads (my god those anti squeal shims are annoying to put on) can't really report much yet, the brakes squeal randomly however. also next time, i have to remember to take some brake fluid out of the reservoir cause my stock pads were so thin. like scary thin, they were breaking apart...

    How much was it for the 4000 series? I need to get my hands on a new set of discs plus pads!

    im not too worried about the cost im wanting absolute performance as i track my car regularly, i actually use my brakes to their absolute limit, i have found the A1RM stopped squealing totally after a trackday. i think they just need to be heated to the extreme to get them actually bedded in properly

    nope, in hindside I shouldve. but I really couldn't be arsed after struggling to get all the shit on lol. brake pedal feel is still good however. I will eventually do a full flush with some better fluid

    if you're tracking the car, the 5000 series would probably benefit due to the decreased unsprung weight. I think the disc themselves are the same?

    Good point. Another advantage of castellated alloy hats is better thermal behaviour in terms of rotor expansion, so less likely to experience cracks.

    I'd second that, Col's pads drove me nuts driving down from cairns and after my first stint on the track and pulling up to smell and see smoke coming from the engine bay I thought the car was on fire until i looked at the brakes with a sign of relief and no more noisey brake pads so you may just need to get some heat into them to bed them in

    what temp are the A1RM rated to? I'm using the Remsa pads and the last thing I want to do is glaze the pads and disc. The A1RM are track pads and heat will do good, Im just not too sure about the Remsas...

    Added to my post sorry... Remsa I see go higher 800ish ????? will be nice to get some feed back on those pads, I started to get some fade on the A1RM but I was leaving the braking to the absolute last moment after finding the perfect braking point....

    I think our Remsa's are 680ish off the top of my head, might be worth shooting Greg (GSL) a message to find out.
