DBA do them, or you could ring Cebco, thats who i got mine from.
But you should be able to get the DBA's from any brake shop.

Are DBA's the gold drilled and slotted ones? That's what i've been looking at, been qouted about $1500 for the rotors and (ultra pads) i think.

Re: 329mm rotors any sugestions?

Have you looked at standard discs?
Or slotted?
Its honestly not worth the extra $$$ for the X drilling.
I hope that is a fitted price?
Who makes ultra pads?

For what car Richard?
Ford quoted me over $700 each for the ELGT rotors, and the calipers where about $600 each.

For a 1999 TE50. The "premium" brakes (NOT brembo) they are the 329mm grooved rotors with twin piston calipers (with the tickford logo on 'em). I'm particularly interested in pad choices (and prices..)
