    Hello,

    I'm looking to buy a new pair of front brake rotors, it was marked down on my RW inspection sheet as 'rotors on min', so I'm assuming they need replacing?

    I've had a browse on eBay, and to be honest I'm not quite sure which are good.

    I'm looking to spend between $100-200 for front brake rotors and pads.

    So far I've been looking at:

    Commodore Disc Rotors VB-VP Front - Slotted - with PADS - eBay Other Brakes, Brakes, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 28-Oct-08 19:05:13 AEDST)

    Commodore Disc Brake Rotors VB to VP Front - Pair - eBay Other Brakes, Brakes, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 28-Oct-08 19:20:07 AEDST)

    What is the difference between normal and slotted brakes?

    Can anyone suggest some decent brake rotors?

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Remember you need the larger rotors aka v8 rotors

    Because those are the standard rotors your VP Calais was optioned with :) Holden did that.

    yeah as morton said you will need the 290mm rotors as they come standard on the v6 calais and S2 VP onwards, the links you posted are for 270mm rotors, small and feels like you are pulling up a truck
