My advice is is if you stick with these brands you can't go wrong:-
Rotors - DBA or RDA Pads - Bendix or Ferodo All these brands feature standard replacement types, right through to track performance. As far as prices go, I haven't bought brake stuff for a while so can't offer advice. Best just to grab the phone book and ring around. If you're a member of a motoring organisation, drop their name as I know REPCO give substantial discounts to NRMA members.

I just did last Monday the following.
DBA500's $75 each, Bendix Premium's $61, total $211. Very happy, if i was doing more spirited driving i would have done the slotted's but at least i have some DBA's. Pads are not to harsh. AZZA

I can recommend DBA slotted rotors and TRW pads(also known as Lucas pads, they are standard fitment on many sports cars)
on the S1 brakes they pulled up great EVERY time even over the mountains driving quite spiritedly in the big tank of an AU Fairlane

I recommend RDA Slotted/vented rotors and TRW Pads... they were suggested to me by my brake specialist who uses them on his racing Falcon Ute... and i attest for how good they are.

We just bought TRW pads all round for the AU. Been told they were as good as Bendix Ultimate & SRT's so we'll see. Will let you know how they are once I get the rotors and put everything on.

The ultimates chew rotors faster. Once the trw pads heat up they go great
