    Rotors Td5 Defender.

    Hi guys,
    Can anyone recommend were I can get a pair of rear disk rotors for my 99 Defender?
    Mine are under size and need replacing and I thought the genuine ones and the DBA replacements were crazy money.
    Also has anyone had any experience of the drilled and slotted alternatives. And are they worth it? I tow a CT.

    I would suggest going Slotted only, not cross drilled...

    Brakes are also not the place to become tight on cash - them and tyres are what work the hardest to keep you and your family alive!

    Yes granted, I take my family's safety above anyone's. And if I had to pay for gen rotors then I would. Without thinking of it. But as the first response says, $142 from Supacheap as apposed to $260 from Repco (phone quote yesterday) even ebay could be silly.
    Id rather have safety, and $120 in my pocket!
    And I was thinking, if I'm going to spend the money, wouldn't I rather upgrade the disks and make it safer. Hence asking for real world feedback.

    Hay Tombie,
    Can I ask why you say only slotted, not drilled? I haven't had any experience with 4WD performance rotors. I had a set on my Falcon but they where on it from new and I've nothing to compare them too. And to be fair I didn't drive the car that hard that I took advantage of them.

    Sure..

    Cracking and stress fractures around the holes.
    Also, offroad the holes trap mud, filling and then eating the pads quicker.
