Hi All, I just ordered the DBA Gold Cross Drilled rotors for my LR Zetec... Got them for $200 for both fronts...

Anyone know the best pads to put on as well? In all honesty, I have NFI, I used to run Heavy Duty ones... But i do know 1 thing, I want some that have LESS brake dust than the OEM factory pads/rotors.. Think my mate gets Bendix cheap through his work? are they any good???

Any further advice would be great....

Cheers
Marty

EBC Greenstuff seem to be the general consensus around here, but with slotted rotors your gonna have more dust. Metal type pads won't dust as much and will last a long time, but eat your discs away and don't stop as well. There very noisy as well!

Those metal pads need to be hot to work well.
