    Over engineered yes
    It was that easy to do why would you tempt fate welding the inside when it could all turn into tear`s

    I just picked up my D2a from the Williams Boys in gerro after they had fitted my new heavy duty DBA rotors and pads, They also did a break fluid flush and the difference in the brakes is remarkable

    You know the old saying Mate, You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink
    I wasn't that convinced that fitting the DBA gear instead of a stock set of pads/rotors would be a good idea But the Guys at Williams in Geraldton specialise in exhausts and brakes (they have been doing this for decades) and as I wanted Heavy duty brakes I went with their recommendation.
    This "horse" drank the water.
    The rotors are not drilled but they do have half moon shaped grooves in them, I'll get a couple of picks tomorrow.

    These are the rotors that got fitted.

    Drilling is a **** for what our needs are also can cause fracturing .
    Slotting is all that is needed in my opinion

    Always upgraded to DBA slotted and good pads and always had a significant improvement.

    I also upgrade brake lines and notice an improved feel again...

    D4 Brake lines will be done next month, it’s 6.5 years old now.
