Anyone who has DBA Slotted brakes on thier car, do they actually anything or are they not worth spending the money on?
And could anyone send me a photo of an EF Falcon with a Whiteline Super Low suspension package on???

Yes, DBA slotted are a VAST improvement over standard rotors. They put up with a medium amount of punishment and with decent pads pull the car up quite quickly. However if your slowing from 200+ km/h frequently or doing track days, they're not gonna cope with the heat buildup and they'll crack. That said, they're great rotors for a street car, and they do perform MASSIVELY better than the standard rotors in my experience.

I had drilled and slotted rotors all round a few years back, and cracked the front rotors in under 25,000km if I remember correctly.
Put slotted on the front, I think these ones have been going for about 40,000 and still looking good, only a slight lip on the outer edge. I usually use Bendix metal king plus, they dont work that well when cold or when driving in normal traffic (highish pedal effort) but work really well on the track. I liked them. Im now using EBC Greenstuff all round (drilled and slotted rotors on rear still going well), very low pedal effort in normal driving, I haven't had them on the track yet so I don't know what they are like when hot... |

For slotted rotors, get on to VPW.com.au They are an australian based mail order speed shop. I think slotted rotors for EB/ED abs were about $90 each for the DBA's. I bought a set from them off the pontiac and in melbourne, was same day delivery.
And as for EBC green stuff pads, I used to run em in my Skyline, they are a truly awesome pad....I did several track days and the like with em.....worked a treat.
