    Default What pads for dba gold brakes?

    I have a manual vp Calais and I have the dba gold discs on the front.
    What brake pads should I use to get the best performance out of the dba golds? Is it worth getting better calipers or a bigger master cylindor?

    Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
    Even in our sleep we happen to be right.

    bendix have just bought out some new pads called street road track, they are painted purple (for some reason) and are a mix between race pad's and street pad's as the name implies, good if your doing weekend track work, but arn't the cheapest, i got some for my vn with vt calipers, i got them for trade price which was about $212.00 but retail is closer to $300 or more
