    Just wondering what upgraded rotors I can look at putting in my vt ss commodore ls1 fe2? I was thinking of the super cheap auto DbA slotted rotors .

    He hooked me up with some slotted rotors, can't remember is DBA or RDA (The better of the two) for a good price.z

    But fomr what I understand as a general rule. Slotted is fine for road but avoid cross drilled as they can crack under regular road conditions or something due to the heating and cooling.

    I got some slotted rotors and A1RM pads from GSL ages ago and they were bloody brilliant, couldn't believe how much better it pulled up from the old Supercheap DBA standards rotors and Bendix pads.

    Also GSL sell upgrade kits for those who want real brakes, VE Twin Piston Upgrade Package suit VB-VZ Commodore!!! , very well prices too since they come with calipers.

    That's great advice. he also hooked me up with some rotors, but the best bang for buck was his QFM brake pads!. awesome stopping power from them little baby's alone. Highly recomend them to you madsav with any brake upgrade you choose.
