Check dba website would be a good start, I think u can buyem almost anywhere. Google EBC for dealers.

FYI there r a set project mu front rotors in the for sale section, they look tasty.

DBA rotors are good rotors and you would never go wrong with them. As with the pads, there are Axxis pads. Mugen88 has them so you can ask him how they perform. If you want JDM, Endless VN9500 are good for a better performance than OEM, pricewise should be around 300 for F+R. Endless is a reputable brand and makes very good brake pads. To buy them? There are some traders selling Endless pads, just type 'endless' on the traders section.

got rotor machined under warranty @25000. now my car has done 43000. it is wrapped again..... do not want to go back to dealers....they never help. so I am after some after market break pads and rotor. for the rotor. I am thinking about to buy the DBA oem replacement rotors. F&B and Break pad. is EBC good for daily driving ? and most importantly. where Can I buy it? cheers :)
Try changing just the pads first as the OEM pads tend to leave deposits on the rotors which gives the impression that they need machining.Get a good pad like Endless VN9500 and i'm sure you'll find that they will get rid of those deposits the more you use them.I think Underground Imports(Egsi) has fronts for $160.00.i've bought stuff from him he's a good guy.:thumbsup:

What's wrong with DBA?Have you had problems?I've only heard good things about them.

when you had your discs machined by the dealer they should have replaced the pads as well which are a revised compound (from what i'm told) as there have been a few problems with euro discs warping in the past

as for where, i'm sure if u wack a post up here u'll have a few people trying to flog them too you http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=84

DBA rotors are easy enough to get from somewhere like Repco/Autobarn
Very reasonable prices to :)

DBA (http://www.dba.com.au/product_search.php)

They make street series standard, slotted & gold
Also 4000 series standard, 6x6 slot & xs

Nice topic.. I'm still confuse myself about this. I have 2 friends using DBA and EBC at 2 different cars. Their opinion:
1. Good
2. Suck

So, how come is that? lolz.. :D

DBA has Slotted rotors for the Euro for like a year now, but they do not keep any in stock and will only manufacturer when there is an order for it..... I think it's $325 for a pair and $25 for freight...

well
today the fact prove me right
a frd of mine has his DBA drilled rotor crack in track today

good luck with the DBA goodness

From what I know, drilled rotors are more for street use rather than track use. For track, slotted is the better bet to avoid cracking.

Pumped

11-03-2007, 08:49 PM

Yea ive heard of drilled cracking quite easy on the track

even the dba website says not to use drilled for the track!

spoon rotor is drilled rotor as well.

the disc shouldnt be cracked after the first few laps all in a sudden

he said there is LIGHT crack around the holes even in street use

endless rotors? I think that Endless doesnt make replacement rotors for euro apart from the basic rotors or the 2 piece rotors? I could be wrong, and if someone knows I wanna be put right.

endless should have one for Euro

Cross drilled are just for looks mostly and ive heard of them cracking on normal roads not just the racetrack.

how much were your DBA 4000s euro69??
