    After mine and Dave's (Dangerous)'s Mallala expedition a while ago I haven't been able to drive my car due to having destroyed my disks and rotors! Gotta be happy with that effort. :YD   Anyway, today I finally got my slotted DBA rotors, and on the weekend while in Melbourne I picked up a set of EBC Street Kevlar pads from Simon. Planning on doing the job this weekend. Any recommendations on how to run them in? Also any feedback from anyone who may have the same setup?

    Do about 7 to 8 moderate brakings from 60

    kph down to 5kph and then drive off again allowing time for the brakes to cool and they should bed in okay.... its a BMW procedure and it appears to work well.regards John:cool:

    Haven't got that fixed yet----->

    Could still be a couple of things, but it's really proving to be a big mystery. While I was in Melbourne I popped in to The Z Shop and met Lindsay. He spent alot of time with me and Koroli showing us around the workshop, and gave me a few more ideas on what I can check. Looks like it could even be my valves now, so I may even be looking at having to pull the engine and spending serious cash.
