Brake pads and ...

[vr1uz-fe]

mate your joking right how do you know this who told you because a chife engineer at pbr told me they do he did say it hardly happens and main cause would be a 4wd hitting water after a hill decent

but are you a mechanic i am so if your not i think you should learn a bit about brakes in fact even if you are a mechanic you should lear some more

 

[Bravotwozero]

Show me a warped rotor!

 

[vr1uz-fe]

well i did say there very hard to come buy

and you cant see warping at that scale

but yes you are right most mechanics say there warrped when they are actually just worn uneven and like i said im not going into how it happens i would rather i know this and not you

 

[excalibur]

i would like to see one

Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated.

I found these on ebay: Commodore VT VU VX VY VZ Full Set Slotted Brake Rotors - eBay Discs, Brakes, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 28-Aug-10 23:14:56 AEST)

Mine is a VY Series 2 executive,
Will it be a straight swap? With ne pads, offcourse!!
Will I be able to do it myself or should I take it to a pro?

That's a fair deal. I would ask them to substitute the pads to Bendix DB1331 (front) and DB1332 (rear). If they charge you an extra $40 or so fair enough but IMO you will be wasting those rotors using an average quality pad like the RDA pads they offer

So slotted rotors are noisey - and no better performance? I was thinking of getting some with Police pads next brake service. Anyone else got that set up - comments please.

Oh, BTW.... re: Noise from slotted discs....

These are mine.... NOT even a hint, nada, nil bit of noise and the performance compared to the stock R8 brakes I had is easily an increase of 30% better performance(This is using the "By the seat of my pants-o-meter...) :rofl:
