Hey guys. My 08 sr has a grab, let go, grad, let go feeling when applyingbthebrakes coming to a stop. Havent looked yet but am guessing thevrotors are warped. Any others opinions?
So if te rotors arecwarped, im planning on replacing thevrotors myself and have members talk bout DBA slotted series 4000 rotors. R these any good? What price can i expect to pay for em and is repco reputable enough to buy them from?
Any others recommended?
Brakes wil be used for mainly daily driver and weekend tourer and beach runner. No serious rock work

Thanks in advance.
Lux is a dual cab diesel

Also, what do u do when the slotted rotors need machining? Im guessing the grooves are machined out over a few machinings?. Or just replace them again?

they are exclusive to rapid rs. i went and picked them up but im sure they post as they are a business. i got onto them via ebay. see if you can find them on there www.rapidrs.com.au i just looked them up and they have moved to keysborough (03) 9798 8440 ask for kathey.
