Clark motorsport had the best price on DBAs when I bought mine, just be sure to get the right code as their website was confused/misleading on the different models last I looked.

Using standard discs with yellow stuffs pads and stainless lines, brakes seem to work well enough for me... Don't APs have issues if you leave them standing for a bit?

I approached Clark Motorsport a couple of months back in relation to DBA's for VXR8. They pointed me towards Monkfish/Walkinshaw as they don't hold stock.

Discs rust very quickly and there's not much scope for skimming them.

Proper racing discs like AP do tend to rust more than cheaper discs. Clearly very different materials in use.

If the car isnt in daily use or reasonably regular use ( or maybe dry/warm stored ), such discs probably arent the best option

I'll be keeping the standard set up, just wondering on who makes discs to fit.
