Seems expensive considering DBA4000 (non slotted) I have been quoted $148 each (trade price). It can't cost an extra $192.00 per rotor for retail markup and for a few slots, surely? They both have kangaroo paw vanes as far as I remember. In that case buy the standard ones and get them slotted yourself.

DTV can happen to any brake rotor.


must have skipped over this, a very good read, will try this before buying new discs and pads as i think your right about the deposits.

+1 for the dixel combo, got them on my 3RB and work very well, less dust than Bendix ultimates (my previous pads) as well!!!
