I'm doing a brake upgrade as well and this is everything I've found out over the past couple of days.

If your replacing rotors and you want to keep it stock you can't go past the OEM V8 rotors from Toyota.

DBA don't make Rotors for a stock V8 brake system.

RDA however do make after market alternatives:
7505 - Normal Front Rotors - $???
7506 - Normal Front Rotors - $???
7505-S - Slotted Front Rotors - $265/pair
7505-S - Slotted Rear Rotors - $265/pair

That's a bolt on bolt of part. Direct replacement.
Pretty easy, there's a tutorial up somewhere about what needs to be done.

Would most brakes places have these rotors? or would you need to order these rotors from any specific place?

If you're after the RDA slotted (a few people swear by them and a few people swear AT them)

Freecall: 1800 880 155 (All Locations)

Should give you the closest one to you. From memory I think there is only 1 set of Standard V8's left in Australia and they are in Queensland (or adelaide cause I ordered them then changed my mind, I'm doing a TT brake upgrade)

So a few days and you should have them.

upon doing research today here are the part numbers for RDA rotors.

Front rotors have a part number of 748 for the front and 7511 for the rear, add a S to the rear of each part number for slotted rotors, or a G at the end of the part number for cross drilled/slotted rotors. Mind you these part numbers are for a TT.

The price I got quoted for 748S is $198 for the pair and for the 7511S was $236 for the pair.

Going this Saturday to pick up a set of front and rears
