    hi greg
    I do a fair bit of driving through steep windy roads used for hill climbs, most corners are 30-50kph, however im a bit of a leadfoot and brake heavily into these corners. i have some sort of bendix pad, one 25km trip and my mags are black and all i can smell is brakes, i also have screwed rotors due to a faulty trailer plug screwing with the abs. I am looking for an aftermarket brake set up for my VZ calais with this intense brake abuse in mind, don't really wanna upgrade calipers.
    A PM would be appreciated
    thanks in advance
    Ben
    p.s shipping would be to 2450

    Anyone ever tried the Molycarbide disc rotors made by rda....I know someone that has used and abused many types of rotors and these are the only ones that keep up with the pads...wider curved slots but are the ticket according to him....Im on the verge of trying them but they are a little more cost than full steel units but if you are going through discs frequently.... in the long run are worth it....Ive read about them in yank cars on the net but they havent really gone popular here...apart from the cost Im trying to find someone who can say anything bad about them.
    This is my vr that I rebuilt ....CLICK HERE to see my vr on Cardomain ......if you want to check it out......Anyway make sure you rubbish a ford daily ....I am a 4DH8RZ Club lifetime member .................new members joining everyday

    Hi Ben,

    I'd do the following:
    - Front Slotted Rotors $179 for the pair
    - Rear Slotted Rotors $165 for the pair
    - Front QFM HPX Pads $79 (Police spec full face pads)
    - Rear QFM HPX Pads $79
    - 1L Bottle of TRW GP600 Dot 4 Racing Brake Fluid $65

    Shipping to you would be $15.

    QFM HPX are a Bendix Ultimate equivalent but very low dust and rotor wear.

    Any other questions just let me know!

    Regards,
    Greg

    G'Day,

    ANychance you can PM me a quote for RDA slotted front rotors for a VZ SV6, and suggest a set of pads to go with them? I've been suggest TWR but what woudl you suggest? Also, do the rotors need machining, or can i just fit them?

    Cheers!
    I just love the way other motorists on the highway think it's an unmarked cop car.........

    Hi mate,

    Sorry about the late reply A pair of front slotted rotors is $179.

    The pad that we recommend is the QFM HPX Police Spec pad, which is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent pad performance wise, but very low dust and rotor wear. For the front is $79 for the set, which is about half the price of the TRW pads (the equivalent TRW part number is GDB7584).

    Rear HPX pads are also the same price, and whether or not the rotors need machining is pretty application specific. I'm personally not a fan of machining rotors that don't need to be, but if you don't, just keep in mind it will take alot longer to bed the pads in, so don't flog them too hard up front!

    Regards,
    Greg

    Hi mate,

    Should be the same as all IRS VS HSV withe the C4 PBR front caliper, but just if you can check that it has 328mm front rotors, and 280mm rears. Prices as follows:

    Front Slotted $389 for the pair
    Rear Slotted $429 for the pair
    Front HPX $110
    Rear HPX $79

    Pads in stock, rotors would be ex-RDA.

    Regards,
    Greg

    G'day,
    I'm after two slotted front discs to suit a VS with the VT upgrade. If it helps, the part numbers I have found are DBA040BSL and DBA040BSR, but they're obviously a different brand.
    Do you sell these? And what would postage be to VIC 3822?
    Cheers, Fonzie

    Hi Greg,

    Can you please do a price for me for 2 front slotted RDA + 2 rear standard RDA and front / rear HPX pads ?
    I'd assume this would be a typical setup , if not please advise (normal driving) for a VX S2 berlina
    Please advise how we go about this and how i pay.

    Kind regards,
    Mark.

    Hi mate,

    RDA Gold Passivated Slotted and Dimpled are $319 for the front pair, and $309 for the rear pair.

    Pads, QFM HPX (inc. Police Spec Fronts) which are a Bendix Ultimate equivalent performance wise, but very low dust and rotor wear are $79 per axle set front or rear. Shipping to 2153 would be $22, so all up for front and rear gold passivated slotted and dimpled rotors, and front and rear pads would be $808 delivered.

    Regards,
    Greg
