Muzza,
I just went to the Brake shop and asked for slotted rotors for my model Patrol. So they maynot be DBA, only just thought of that after the shop rang to say they where in. But they did have DBA posters around the shop.

So are there other disc manufactures in aus. As I can only think of DBA?

Vented is the gap between the inner and outer not the drilled holes.

The ones with holes are called 'cross-drilled'...

OK picked up my slotted discs today. They are actually RDA brand and they cost me $135 for the pair. The slots in them arnt as deep as I thought they would be. But we will see how well they go.
As for pads I just got what ever they had in the shop.And I forgoten what brand they are but they only cost me $40.

So will fit tommorow and see how they go. Just gotta find my gregorys book and see how to change them now.
