I've just fitted DBA 4000's slotted (front only) and DS2500 (front only) for $1,000 incl 1 hour labour. Don't remember the detail in between.

yep same here with teh DS2500 have squealing issues...
on the stock rotor imo they a tard better then OEM pads haven tracked them yet...next tuning day is on the 10th..

might go next EBC red or Project Mu pads
the yellow stuff i think has to be warmed up not suited for streets read that some where

Paoluch...do it properly...put on DBA 5000's...buy the rotors only from wherever (ask MMS, Perth Brake Parts, Tu Speed) and I have a pair of 114.3 alloy hats you can have for $120 the pair...

With love from Paris

, will ascertain whether the rotors are due for replacement once i get it rolling with a few heat cycles. Thanks again ladies

Do rotors and pads at the same time Jme. New car deserves pads and rotors anyway I reckon.

Used rotors bed in new pads, have every intention on changing to new rotors/pads.

Is there such a thing with Brembo's? Mine are a nice colour of dark shaded gold after a week.

I would look at ALL alternatives to DBA rotors...
I think that DBA's are very over rated, they wear quickly, and are over priced.
considering they don't appear to be any better than RDA's in terms of quality.
