I know there is a FAQ however there are no links where can I buy these rotors at the good price. I'm thinking about DBA 4000 slotted or equivlent RDA with QFM HPX quality pads. SOmething that is not too hard or soft and will give good brake performance (I know much to ask). Where can I get these at the good price? I checked the usuall suspects (Autobarn, Super Cheap Auto...) and their prices seems to be a bit high.

Usually you order them though places like Super Cheap etc and ask to get direct from the supplier. This cuts out the profit that Super Cheap can get if bought 'through them'. Otherwise give RDA or DBA a call and ask how you can order them and how they recommend.

Define expensive. Remember, you don't get something like these for cheap. Expect to spend like $220+ per rotor for the 4000 Series DBA's.

As for the QFM pads, best place to get them is through GSL RallySport. The gy you speak to there is Greg. The phone number is: 1300 884 836.

hey czaja74, assuming you're from victoria's mill park, northern brake and clutch in kensingtion is worth a call... i was quoted for my car (not aurion) and so far it has been the cheapest (cheaper than super cheap). also with RDA compared to DBA, i heard because the slots were cut from the edge, its more prone to cracking.

Greg is very easy to deal with; I have seen his brake pad collection and he stocks a hell of a lot of pads. He is actually a member on this forum too (hint: do a member search for gslrallysport).

There's an ebay seller in Melbourne that is selling the QFM high performance brakes here. Don't know if that's cheap or not.

Supercheapauto in Melbourne are having a 15% off on DBA rotors. Not sure if this will be cheaper or not.

Did you replace the rotors cause it needed replacing, or was it just because you wanted something better? If the former, how many km's has your car done?

hi got this reply via email from gsl rallysport

"DBA are not yet making those rotors, even though they have allocated a

part number and have them on their website. We can supply RDA slotted

rotors for $249 per pair. The pads are available in HPX for $79.

Shipping of $8 would apply for the pads if ordered separately and if you

order pads and rotors shipping would be $33"

did u all get part number DBA42709SL (front left) & DBA42709SR (front right)

im a bit confused

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
