I found Tuspeed were about the cheapest for discs. Shop around for pads, there are some great alternatives to the Ferodo's and more often than not substantially cheaper to.

Jamie, I looking at replacing my brakes ATM also. Tuspeed is $240ea for the DBA4000 fronts & $220ea for the DBA4000 rears. Pads I'm looking at the EBC Redstuff which are around $350 from EBC Direct (the Yellowstuff race pads are about $10-15 more) Prices are for full set front & rear.

Sounds decent Lewis. EBC has 'apparently' moved leaps and bounds, cause the last time I used the Redstuff's for lack of a better word they were SHIT. You used the newer compound?

I just got a set of Project Mu SCR rotors & HC+ pads - the rotors aren't cheap but the pads are ~$325 (from Ken @ OTR).

The other option I considered from BSM/V-Sport was Brembo Sport Slotted Rotors matched up to Endless PC35 pads (about the same price as PMu) - thought I'd try something different to the DBA/Ferodo combo.

I had Endless CCX Pads, great for street and track.
Used on stock brembo rotors.
Perfect Run had them, cost about $250 landed.

I have Dixcel Heat Treated and Slotted Rotors and Dixcel Type M Pads for Brembos. Awesome grip, and bugger all dust issues. Troy at Prospeed can hook you up and he will do some deals at the moment. Rotors were listed as $799 and I got them for $499.

I went for the Dixcel rotors at the special price as well mate! Waiting to get the front set sent over...Troy sent me two rear rotor sets, LOL!

Cant wait to get them fitted and give them a go! Awesome from what I hear!

Thing is, a fair number of alternate rotor and pad brands are popping up. Which is great, and in most street scenarios not really an issue, however once a month or so when i get on the track or a spirited run, i will beat the absolute piss through them, and that in all reality is when the true colours shine. Thanks for all the imput thus far lads.

Jon suggested them as they are a very low dust pad, read good reviews on the current compound. Maybe consider the Yellow's as they are more race than the Reds but are not low dusting. I currently have the DS2500 in now which are nearly due for replacement, I was not that impressed with them very overrated pad especially for the money & I have had the common squealing issues which require me to pull them out to clean to make it stop.
