Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 1:28 pmDBA 4000 series rotors, go slotted if you like the look of them. Remsa, Bendix Ultimate, Ferodo DS2500 and AFM A1RM are all good pads downside is they all throw lots of dust.

Put your money where your mouth is and buy Dixcel slotted rotors with Type M pads.
0 dust.

I doubt you could get them in as Garage 88 are sole distributors, but you can try haha. Just source them from Michael.

If your preference is for DBA rotors for the GT MY10 here's some info since that's what I did (although I kinda wish I'd changed the calipers to Brembo's now for extra bling
)The DBA 4000 T3 slotted part no.'s for the GT MY10 are:
Front part no.: DBA42650S
Rear part no.: DBA42663S
(The rear part no. is not in the DBA catalogue, but that's the one you need for the Liberty MY10 GT, or a BRZ/86 if you had one
I had my OEM's measured beforehand, and the DBA42663S is an exact match)For pads, I went with Hawk Performance Ceramic and am pretty happy with them, part no.'s are:
Front: HB533Z.668
Rear: HB671Z.628
Some people prefer the Hawk HPS pads over Ceramic for better stopping power (at the expense of more brake noise and dust of course). Change the "Z" to "F" in the part no. for those.
Personally I'm happy with the Hawk Ceramic, they provide better stopping power than stock but more importantly for my personal preference was no noise or dust.
There's heaps of other pads however, like EBC, Bendix, Ferodo. The pad you use can make a big difference, so it would be a good idea to research and get other people's feedback as well. I found however there are a billion conflicting opinions on brake & pad choices out there though.... just depends how much money you want to spend I guess and how much dust/noise you can tolerate??
FYI, I got my DBA rotors & Hawk Performance pads through Race Brakes Sydney.

Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:55 pm4000's are pointless on the street as is slotted, but they look better. 
What is you car intended for?
Hawk PC are great pads for the street. Other pads mentioned in the second post are very dusty, noisy and some take a few stops to bite which is not what you want on a street car.
Dixel are good, but worth the premium price........?

They do the job that I want them to do and look the part. But then again, I track my car so that's a different story. And I also need to stop a 250kw car so again, different story.

Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 12:04 pmRDA Slotted and QFM HPX pads are great.
For a street(or any car for that fact) dba vs RDA is a no brainer, same thing but almost half the price.
My slotted front rotors were $220 a set new, and pads were about 70-80 from memory.
Not too dusty, and they bite from the first brake in the morning no problem, i can stomp on the anchors from 180 to a stop, then do it again and they arent fading(private test roads of course)
