Right on schedule! DBA 4000s + Carbotech Bobcats arrived today.

Pie4Foo · 10-19-2005, 10:25 AM

This morning the mail room guy dropped off a (heavy) package with my DBA 4000s from Tantrumwerks and (not-as-heavy-but-still-not-light) package with Carbotech Bobcats from PureMS. I ordered both items last week and they arrived right on schedule - so kudos to both retailers!

I'm doing the front and rears (plus fluid) with the help of a local S4 owner this weekend.

Is it wrong to be excited about doing manual labor on my car for 4 hours on a Saturday?

I'll be curious to see how the temp paint works during the event.

I should probably order some track pads soon...

So things start to happen above 458C (or 856F).

Which is pretty hot. ;-p

and how you like them; I'm nearing replacement time for my pads (and probably rotors as well). Who's helping you with the install?

prior to use. All of my paint rubbed off before I even installed mine. :-/
