If I ever go down the route of chasing more power (which will be after a manual conversion) then I'll consider the upgrade to the brakes, until then keeping them to fast street performance. Thanks guys.
But why machine when they're only $70?
From memory machining costs about $40.
I know I'd rather brand new rotors than machined ones.

idk how it will affect the price to get the rotors fitted as opposed to machining the rotors I currently have. Depends on the cost, if he can do it for under $90 (labor only), then it'd be worth it.
Some do, some don't. We don't, we outsource ours to Sydney Brake and Clutch and heaps of other guys/shops don't use the on-car machine thingo. Even on the car though, it's heaps faster just to take the old one off and put the new one on instead of dicking around machining old rotors to save 20 bucks.
I fix cars.

Alright sounds good, I guess I'll get a set of RDAs then. Sorry for the noob questions just never did brakes before and don't know how complex the switch is.
My mechanic was already offering me cheap rates, I'm not concerned with money at all... I'm just trying to decide which would be more worth it. So I'm just going to get the new rotors and put them on. I reckon it'll come out to be more expensive, but I'd rather do it since as Ben said machining them widdles down the material and you can only go so far anyway. Not really complaining about the cost, I'm just looking for feedback on quality/price.
I'm inclined to source my own Bendix Ultimate Performance/RDA Slotted Rotors/Calipers and go from there. Just thought I'd check here first before going through with anything as I've still got 3000 kms left on 'em.
Gotta wait for shipping... and ideally I'd like to have the calipers swapped all in one go. Had some dramas with AusPost so Toby is trying to get that sorted out. Until then all I can do is wait.
