I've had Disc Brake Australia 4000 series grooved for a few years and many thousands of miles. Expensive, but have barely worn even after using DS2500 pads on a few track days, so have been well worth it. I noticed some slight noise occasionally with the roof down when the sound was reflected off a wall or barrier, but nothing that would put me off.

Front - £336 Rear - £270 Both are zinc coated to prevent corrosion. The three basic points of slots are; about 20% overall braking performance, 30% more pad wear on street and more dust. Oh and they look cool.. Let me know if you have any more DIXCEL questions. Anthony
I forgot to mention that year are the retail prices and till the end of August there is a sale going on.

It was fronts only Simon,

£249.32 but I chose the more expensive option of UPS instead of USPS (to avoid Parcel Farce in this country)
Import duty was around £40 I think payable to the UPS driver

My Dixcels have straight vanes allowing them to be used both ways round.
