Consider the Protex Ultra Streets as an alternative.
Available from ABS in Osb Park. Speak to Adam & mention Me & Perth Wrx to get a very decent price. They're also doing a decent Lucas pad to suit.

i purchased the Protex Drilled and Slotted front rotors as well as Lucas pads for the fronts + rears. They have been on the car for about 3 months now. I couldn't be happier with them. A huge improvement over the stock pads/rotors. Adam gave me a good price, would highly recommend these. |

hi all,
I do have plenty of Intima SR6300 High Temp Pads in stock at the moment to suit the regular "Subaru" 4 pots as well as the STi bembos. These pads have been tested and proven on the tracks by a few local 'trackies' like Zac from Cypher Industries, Andrew from Hyperdrive as well as myself. Prices are $145 for the IN-1170SR (Subie 4pots) and $155 for the IN-1678SR (Brembos). Both stated are for the fronts and i do have rears in stock as well, depending if your's are subie 2 pot rear, sliding 1 pot rear, my98 rear or brembo rears. PM or call me @0430474008 for more details As Intima WA Distributor, we do have access to warehouse pricing for DBA rotors and if you guys are interested, i am confident on beating the prices coventrys, perth brake parts or repco does. Just let me know how many sets are we looking at and i will do my best for the rest.

If you're not doing track work, and just want some serious street brakes, then we'd either go QFM HPX (Bendix Ultimate equivalent, $79 per set non-Brembo, or $110 per set Brembo), or, if noise is of big concern (though it's generally related to bedding in....), then the other option we highly recommend, and we supply to alot of high performance European cars that have opposed calipers like Brembo as standard (like Porsche, Aston Martin, Alfa etc...) would be a European performance brand called Remsa. Remsa to suit Brembo are $119 for the front, and $109 for the rear. Performance of the above mentioned brands: 0-420 Bendix Performax 0-550 Bendix Ultimate 0-550 HPX 0-650 Remsa 0-780 QFM A1RM |

Would the DBA4000 slotted fronts + QFM HPX on the fronts be a good combination for a car which does 99.9% street (as in driving the kids to school and picking them up again) and maybe one track day in a blue moon?
Is it okay to leave the regular disks and el-cheapo no brand pads on the back, or should the rear pads also be replaced? I realise anything above stock on my car is probably a waste of money, but if I have to put all my weight on the brake pedal I'd like to stop as quickly as possible.

There are many people that do track days on Ultimates so I guess that HPX should be just as good for mainly street driving. What I'm thinking of doing is get a pair of slotted discs and pair of A1RMs and use them just for track, while using my normal discs and pads (currently have A1RM but will change them to HPX next time I need to) for normal street duties.
I don't know what would happen to discs if I just changed the pads and kept the same discs for both track and street. Can anyone comment? Adi |

* Equal, as in designed for the same thing, ie. track level etc. There are times when you don't run the same pad compounds front and rear (like Comp 9 front, Comp 2 rear, which is the next level above A1RM, or if you drive a Porsche, which also ideally run different rear pads with less initial bite), but the same application type is required front and rear.

So it seems Repco prices changed dramatically today when I looked at finalising (surprised me that they would be able to outbid Coventry and today it was confirmed)
Now these are the off the cuff pricing given by Coventry 'subject to being able to obtain the parts locally'. I am now awaiting a formalised quote which will tell me what the volume discount will be. Please note the volume discount will kick in after 10 Rotors are ordered, if this GB increases I will re-negotiate. I haven't forgotten you Dave, just want to make sure all part numbers are correct before sorting you Edit: Thanks for that Rossco, but the common theme seems to be that cross drilled disks aren't viable for everyday use and also being prone to cracking. I've currently got them on the front of my car and had no issue, but after chatting to some of the big end drivers at Collie, I'm going with slotted only.
