Dba xtreme performance brake pads

Who uses dba xtreme performance brake pads and how do they perform on the track?

No one.  Too many other good pads out there.

They are actually a new pad designed by DBA to enter into that market.

I got a set for free from Brakes Direct due to my Forza pads taking near forever (7 months!) to ship from Italy, which was an issue on the Forza end, not the Brakes Direct end.

However, I haven't tried them as my car is laid up right now. They SHOULD sit in that light track/A1RM/FP3 kind of segment. They should be well into the whole "Well I'm about to go to the track for the first time but want something semi-streetable..." kind of thing.

A1RM I wouldn't even consider as light track, they're a street pad.

Oh well I got them for free with my rotors so I my aswell try them out ....?

I agree, after using them on the track I had this problem after half a session pulling back into the pits

But some people use them with little to no issues

After I discussed the above photo with Brakes Direct, they sent me a set of DBA XP, but they also said they didnt have a great deal of info on them either, They should at least work for the street, but they are rated a bit tougher than the A1RM but fill the segment the A1RM is 'supposed' to be filling.

If you have them, and have nothing else its worth a go. Worst that can happen is you buy another set of pads for track days which is hardly the worst plan to have..

Anything should be better than Benshit or QFM.

Sorry to dig up all old thread, but did you end up using them, and what can you tell us about how they perform?

[Kinkstaah]

I actually have a set of these. They didn't do the trick for track use (but were more than appropriate on the road) for my previous 8 pot/R33GTST kit.

I have a 370z kit now and they actually seem damn fine on the street, like _really_ happy with them on the street, enough that I may have actually been confident enough with them for light track if you have a lighter car and don't overbrake like I do.

I'm on the fence and have Project Mu club racer pads, which feel much the same on the street - There may not be that much in them. So FWIW I didn't use them on track (and probably won't) but they are WAY more than anyone ever needs for any kind of road use or motorkhana or drag or drift or something like that.
