Default Big Red Rotor Replacement

Can anyone advise/recommend a supplier for front and rear rotor replacements (std. Big Red's)?
It's is surprising how quickly these wear at the track with Pagid pads!
Thanks.

Malcolm,

Wear was one of the main reasons i went BIG on the brakes...

I was wearing 3 sets of front and one of rear.... a season......

Makes a BBK seem cheap whan you add it up.

With my new set up - i am still on the fist set of rotors.....

For more detail - pm me - PR Tech did the conversion - best set up yet.

Simon.

Simon, I recall your detailed post on the installation of your ?cup brakes - all that R&D! I'm certainly not tracking the car as much as you or Grant for that matter and with current committments will only manage 2 - 3 more days this year, so I'll probably go with the cheaper repacement rotor option although I can see that with heavy track use your option allows amortization of the costs over a much longer time! Perhaps next time/next year. Thanks.

I see Craig is advertising a near market ready option on the board concurrently. We await pricing....

FYI - Disc Brakes Australia makes slotted, two-piece, front rotors that fit our cars. I've used the 5000 series from DBA on other cars and have been very happy with them. I don't use them on my Turbo because I upgraded to bigger brakes from Brembo all the way around.
