Which rotors would you recommend?
I'm looking to FINALLY replace my rotors. I'm looking at a few eBay auctions for Rotors, but I wanted to check with you guys first. Here are my choices:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33564&item=2462903 696 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33564&item=2461876 535 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33564&item=2461502 587 I'm not to sure about the cross-drilling. I've always heard mixed reviews on the process. Also, can someone recommend a good Pad to use? Thanks. Clarke

For rotors, I'd recommend DBA rotors. DBA has been making rotors for at least 25 years. They cast their own rotors, and they are highly regarded in Australian rally racing scene. The DBA-652 (front) and DBA-651 (rear) are for the SVX. These rotors are slotted. The DBA website is here:
http://www.dba.com.au/ BTW, I think the WRX STi comes stock with the Kangaroo Paw DBA rotor. Unfortunately DBA doesn't make that rotor for the SVX.

Looking into it now. It will be a day or so before I can get back to you on that. It looks like they are going to be fairly expensive though, probably around $200/pair.

Somebody posted this link on a forum here some time ago. Very interesting article. Everything in the essay sounds plausible and I can't find any fault in the argument, but somehow I just can't help but take it with a grain of salt.
