hi, i have a set of DBA Slotted brake rotors for sale. Heres the catch - they are exactly the same dimensions as FTO GPX rotors but are 4 stud ( to suit galant vr4) a friend of mine who is a machinist says they can be re drilled to 5 stud to suit fto's. All rotors are BRAND NEW, never been on a car.

Dba 402's front slotted vented rotors, cost me $170 each, sell $200 pair

DBA 416's rear slotted rotors, cost $110 each sell $100 pair

pm me for more details.

they are located in tasmania. freight extra.

Any good machine shop can do that for you :wink: And when drilling your not going thru the area that the pad clamps on. Redrilled rotors are fine if done right.

these are brand new, still in the box. And asking $300 for the set.

yes drilling is fine, welding/heat is what warpes rotors!

they are DBA Brand, standard slotted series. not the cheap ones that warp as soon as you press the brake pedal!

they are in Tassie

Are these the standard DBA rotors that are slotted? DBA slot it themselves, From dba website, which cost $120 rrp each for the front.
Or is it some other series?

I'm sorry to tell Idawina, if you gill the hole on the disc, there is a chance the disc won't be balance when it's rotating, so you may have you car shacking when you drive, just like after you put a set of new tyres on, you need to do wheel balance, but you can't do disc balance!
