| Well, I finally got around to putting on some new rear rotors, went with some DBA slotted jobbies. Heard a mixed bag about their quality so figured Id suck it and see. If they're in the bin they'll go and Ill grab something else. I put new lucas pads all round (Couldnt care less about brake dust as the car is cleaned very regularly and the rims are cake to clean). Still bedding the pads in so havent given them 'real' testing yet but initial feel is much improved over the stock Toyota pad. Time shall tell. I also found some caliper stickers that Ive had for a few years now (cant for the life of me remember who I got them off <shrug> ), so I freshened up the calipers and put them on also. Have a squiz:

| Very nice Jeff! The Lucas pads do have more bite and if you can live with the dust are much improved over the OEM (for those that haven't tried them). |

That about covers it Sean, the stickers came from an ALSC member, though unfortunately I dont remember who it was that supplied them. Bloody shame, theyre good pieces. |
