Has anyone installed Atlantic British High Performance Brake Kit (Slotted and drilled rotors + Kevlar Pads)?

What are your thoughts on it? Does anyone know who makes those rotors?

I am planning to install it on my 95 Disco. But am unsure if I should spend the extra $250 on it or not.

I checked with Expedition Exchange and they are out of stock on the DBA rotors, which were my first choice. Should I wait 3 more weeks, which is what I was told it would take for a new shipment of DBA rotors to come in? From what I have read on EE's site, the DBA rotors seem to be really good. Though I have not seen anyone mention it here on DWeb. I wonder why.

Thanks a bunch in advance for all the input.

see vendor section under resources....think it's www.dap-inc.com

Also IMO forget the kevlar pads and go with standard. Kevlar don't work well when cold and/or wet.

That will not be good, since I live in the Seattle area. "Cold and Wet" is probably a synonym for where I live.

Bill, would you or anyone else on this board, recommend using the DBA rotors with genuine or Mintex pads?

That's what I use - DBA rotors with ferodo pads.

I believe that Bill at Great Basin Rover also carries the DBA rotors.
