I had them on the front and rear before the upgrade to 4 spotters on the front. I managed to crack one of the front rotors,when they were replacedthey went onto Jase's car. They were ok, but are nothing flash compared to my current setup

hi
i had the drilled and slotted disks on my xr8 stopping was excellent but after 6 months they had cracked between the drill holes .. i guess it depends on how hard you work your brakes. but next time i will just go the slotted ones instead.. i must say they do look great with the open spoke wheels.. |

DBA cross drilled and slotted disc's..

Have had mine on for 6 months, I needed to replace the originals any way so i thought I might as well go for the DBA. I like them, although I noticed the brake dust builds up on the wheels super fast. I got Bendix pads, I might try some kevlar pads or something when they need to be changed next.

The tyre centre at Dural sydney just whacked in "Ferodo" pads.. -as in like ferodo off "lord of the rings"..

Hmmm yeah i was looking into slotted rotors a few weeks back. But then my funding ran literally dry, but now is like a bloody flood. So they may be comming some time soonish i hope.
I even got qouted $300-$350 to replace all brake pads with bendix pads (non-slotted, just standard rotors/braking system).

BTW.. after about 3-4 days my wheels turn into a dark machine face "Shadow" they get that much dust on them!..

Same, I have got a bucket of water in the garage with a wheel brush in it that I use at least twice a week.
They do look awsome behind open wheels. |
