SLOTTED and DIMPLED DRILLED ROTORS

just need to source pads,,,, a friend of mine had Kevlar pads in but they stunk and chewed rotors to bits.
need something that's a bit better than a towing style pad, as the pads are more expensive than the rotors
in some cases.

If anything you want softer pads, better braking at a sacrifice of pad life. if you could find a could balance then you are on a winner, you don't want Kevlar pads that chew through 4 sets of rotors to a set of pads, more like 2 sets of pads to a set of rotors or 2 sets of rotors to a set of pads

Pads are cheaper than rotors.....I'd go soft pads!

Pads are cheaper than rotors

Not necessarily.The EBC pads i just bought cost $215 just for the two front sets. The two RDA dimpled/slotted rotors were $169. Whether the pads are worth the cost I'm yet to discover.

2 front sets? Did you get a spare set? Generally you get fronts in a pack and the rears in a pack. I haven't seen them sold in pairs.

I'm happy with the $40 set from supercheap. 12 month life from the pads is fine for me and the stopping power is pretty good.

I cant believe how much better the Patrol stops now, bedding in period is nearly over.
Luckily have not had to stop in anger and get the rotors hot, Highly recommend,
BTW I fitted RDA Gold extreme pads for $52 a set, For Autos and towing applications
Little effort required to stop now, happy camper

Nah, just the one set. 2 pairs of pads . I think I've probably only ever bought pads for bikes & am used to buying a set (pair) for single disc front or rear.
