    Dba brakes

    Hey all after allot of reading around the forum, and my own choice for dba rotors (used them to solve problems before and they are aussie made) i have bought and replaced the standard rotors fit a set of dba slotted t2 rotors on my 2010 sd se 3.0l. Upon pulling the whole lot apart the stock rotors were no where near gone. i got the quote during a service from land rover dealer in Mackay which said rotors. Read up that they don't last and didn't think. The rotors off my car will go again no worries so if someone wants them they can pick them up from weston in nsw 2326 just let me know I'll hold them. I put remsa pads on from brakes direct he said they are a good soft rotor friendly pad. I didn't tell the Mrs i changed the brakes. And the next day she came in from the shops and asked me what i had done. So i guess that's a thumbs up. I got the rotors from spares pro who are in Gulgong there rotor price seemed a misprint so cheap so check em out great bloke to deal with to. SparesPro Online Car Parts and Accessories. Brake pads were not cheap around 160 for fronts. They had aftermarket pad sensors which i used but the fit on them wasnt great so i used more zip ties.

    I know that they had to be machined in aus for t2 slot and only took a week to turn up. So if they're machining slots here i would have thought the whole rotor is done here.

    Can aussie my stock rotors have Brembo stamped in them. The guru at brakes direct steered my away from Brembo as he said anything Brembo that is oe replacement is crap from china and only theyre race stuff is of any worth. I was thinking about going that way myself let my know how your rotors last though. Did you get slotted
