    i just got some slotted DBA Rotors for my VR and their working a treat. Picked them up for $220 for the front two but i reckon if you look around u might be able to score them for round $190-200.

    I just got of ebay 2 slotted RDA front rotors and set pads for $100 delivered to my door in melbourne.

    They work excellent. Had DBA in the past and can not tell the difference. Pads are little dusty but so are the bendix.

    I would look on ebay if yo want to save some money. Easy to install yourself. just make sure you bed them in as per instructions.

    Another vote for the DBA slotted rotors here, I had them on my Berlina, and whilst they were noisy, they did work a heap better than the standard discs. I also had good pads in there too, although they were very dusty.

    I have also used DBA slotted rotors before. With good pads they were a big improvement on standard, although I couldn't tell you how much was due to the rotors as the pads went on at the same time
