What kind of price would you be looking at for 4 of the DBA slotted rotors and EBC pads to suit then?

Question: Can I machine normal brakes so that they are slotted and/or drilled? Or is that just a stupid idea?

that would be a silly idea considering noramal Ford rotors are designed to do a job within certain parameters (stress for example) if you cutting them up you take them beyound what they were designed for, better just stick with ebay's RDA slotteds, that way if something does go wrong you can rip it up them.

Drilled and slotteds are down to under $200 a pair which is damn reasonable.

I got ADB Slotted Front EF/EL rotors for $115 a pair, plus free brake pads.
There is no reason at all not to upgrade your brakes. BenJ

Whats the best fluid that could be put into the brakes for a Falcon that does some hard braking?
Someone ealier mentioned they put synthetic fluid but said it was overkill?

brake fluid absorbs water,and rusts all steel parts inside the system.a flush-bleeding removes this and worm bits of rubber and debris.once a year and dot 4 or above brake fluid.dont forget that the rubbers wear and pistons can sieze up.mine where siezed at 250k---front,rears are alloy-rubbers only.check the whole caliper-boots and pins,to reduce brake pad drag on rotors.

I own an ELXR8 auto put DBA Gold cross-drilled & slotted rotors all round 6 years ago & have only just replaced the rotors December 2008.
Only ever had them machined once. You can have them machined but not by your standard machine. Sports rotors have to be machined by a slower machine. Reason for changing rotors was that after I had them machined about 4 months later they started to shudder when braking. They had no crackes in them at all & i had had them glowing red a few times over the years. Now have slotted only all round I find the braking is not as good with the slotted rotors. Dave

i have been told to steer clear of bendix ultimates for my ford. mechanic said that they are to hard and can cause warping. i'm in the same situation as hotka with his ba - replaced disks with dbas and are warped again in no time.

There are cross drilled and slotted rotors for front and rear of all models of Falcon (and I will also say that horrible word EEEE holden...that hurts...sorry for swearing guys)on Ebay for around $140 a pair.
That price is unbelievable considering Supercheap sell standard smooth discs for $90 EACH That makes you a god dammed idjut if you dont buy then off Ebay I guess. How dumb have I been over the years guys
