Default Break and Rotors

ok i need new rotors and pads.. my pads have heaps on there but are very hard ones.. they have put a gloss on the rotors and made the rotors go to shit as well..

so basically iv been quoted for

DBA650 rotors $120 each
Bendex ultimate pads $84
or
Ferodo FS2000 pads $130

does that sound ok.. are those rotors and pads ok..

dba 4000 and ds2500 is a very good combo !

and u CAN have new rotors and pads at the same time, just make sure u get someone who knows what theyre doing to run it in.

yeah 4000 be a little cheaper i guess.

running them in ???? what does that require...

doing both at once i have to becuase i cant just do one.. if i do pads they will only stick to the high points on my current rotors, and rotors the pads will eat the rotors out again.

but id rather do them all at once..

but running them in id like to know more about please.
