bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 19y 5m 19d Location: Canberra Posted 13/10/08 03:04 AM Share Posted 13/10/08 03:04 AM I'd definitely get the slotted rotors for their additional cooling abilities, etc - the fact that they also look so much better is an added bonus!As for pads, I think any performance pad is going to be pretty dusty - just the price you pay for improved braking performance. I have the 'standard' pads supplied by PBR with their 'premium' brake kit and they're dusty as hell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 20/11/08 08:10 AM Share Posted 20/11/08 08:10 AM Slotted or the sh*tty holes will get cracks around them.Dba drill the holes after the disc is made, whereas Brembo for instance have the holes in the moulding process so are heat treated etc properly.

Even the V8 supercars no longer use drilled rotors. Cars that use drilled rotors only do so for the look.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the street, the DBA 4000 slotted are an excellent choice that many on here have done. Next you will have pad choice.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
