    They don't do left/right anymore. It's the same rotor for both sides.

    DBA42962S = front
    DBA42957S = rear

    I am 90% sure they are the same between Gen I and Gen II models

    interesting thread.

    if you have poor pedal feel after install thicker new rotors. it means you have f@#ked the bleeding process, or the bedding in process.

    no rotors or pads clean surfaces. slotted or drilled.

    the drilled holes are the for extra surface area. extra surface area = better heat dissipation. less heat = less fad.

    the dimples are there for the same reason, but as not drilled all the way through, then offer slight less heat dissipation, but don't crack.

    cross drilling is a very old technology, and should be found on street driven cars today.

    Hi mate,

    XS rotors to suit MPS3 are $231 each fo the front, and $198 each for the rear. Alternatively, if you are doing track work, I'd just stick to slotted, which are $198 each for the front, and $165 each for the rear. Slotted are in stock, XS would need to be ordered.

    For a mix of street track, go QFM A1RM, which are roughly a Ferodo DS2500 equivalent pad, $149 for the front, $119 for the rear.

    EBC greenstuff are about 150ish mark for the fronts
    Closer to $200, which is about double what they're actually worth... EBC's are a very dull pad. They work ok in Europe where their rotors are softer and their ambient temperatures are lower, but over here they're hideously overpriced, and not that craush hot.

    If you want something that works on the street but can handle some track work then get QFM A1RM's - These are excellent value about $270 for a full set
    If you want something for more competitive racing, get Project Mu HC
    For outright track performance that squeals like an absolute bastard then get Project Mu Club Racers - expensive, they cost me about $700 for a full set.

    Where do you guys order the Remsa pads from?
    planning a set of DBA's on front, maybe stock rear brakes with better pads... Also got Do-luck brake lines with 5.1 fluid to be 'installed'.
    I've emailed Remsa main site but it's Spanish I think and I've had no response
    Somebody help me out please

    GSL RallySport. Easiest way to order is credit card over the phone, 1300 884 836, or else swing me your details, full name, delivery address (preferably a work or business address!!), contact number and email and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details.


    Got heaps in stock, fronts to suit MPS3 are $123, rears are $95. Shipping is free when you order front and rear pads together, or else $8 per axle set individually.

    I'll be giving you a call next time I need pads! Bought last set, were cheap and delivered fast! I might look into some rotors too. Slotted DBAs are the go. They also have the Kangaroo Paw design for heat dispersal.

    Is that for the front or rear slotted?
