DB9 Questions
Hello,
Currently have an 06 DB9, about to hit 45k miles.
Brakes are completely gone, anyone have any good recommendations on where to purchase the rotors and pads other than the dealership?

Also currently using Mobile 1 0w-40, thinking about switching to the 10w-60 used in Bmw "M" cars any reason I should or should not?

As far as I know there are no aftermarket brake rotors so this is a dealer only option.

Why would you even consider 10w-60? About the only other oil I would try is Shell Rotella T6 5w-40.

For the brakes; there's been rumours on this forum that the FORD GT-brakes are a one-on-one change-out option for the DB9 / Vantage. Stoptech versions can be found here FRONT: http://www.autobrakecenter.com/front...3-p-18870.html and REAR: http://www.autobrakecenter.com/rear-...4-p-18874.html
