Prospeedracing have them cheaper than that. Fronts are $364 a pair and I think rears were cheaper than that

My opinion is don't bother with 4000 series unless you plan on doing lots of very aggressive driving. For everyday driving and the odd thrash in the twisties T2's and some decent pads are enough.

Of course they're beneficial.. They're BETTER than the stock discs.

They appear bigger than your stock rotors in the picture?? Ffs...

Btw these are rear rotors, not fronts.. 290mm.. Same size

So would one have to change the lug nuts if upgrading to these rotors? If so how much would it cost and is it worth it?

What about the clips that hold the brake lines in? Should these clips be changed and if so what will be the performance benefit?

Thanks

DBA 4000 series rotors are better than the OEM ones, yes.

Do you need them? Unsure. Call GSL and speak to Greg, he'll ensure you get the right rotors for your car (since you seem to have trouble working out what's appropriate and what's not).

Some valid questions there Mick.

But you have forgotten one thing.

What about the windscreen washer fluid.? That definitely needs to be changed when looking at rotors. But what about the wipers themselves.... Thats the big question

Thanks

All relevant questions guys, but not for this thread. You gotta start 8 new threads to ask those questions!
