Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Style
> Your Holden's brake rotors are what the brake pads squeeze against to bring you to a stop. Over time, especially if you're giving that Monaro or Torana a hiding, they can wear out, warp, or even crack. That's bad news for stopping power and safety.
What Clued You In?
• Brake pedal feels like it's got a heartbeat?
• Brakes squealing like stuck pigs?
• Rotors looking like the surface of the moon?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?
WOF Worthy?
Buggered brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above minimum thickness and crack-free to pass the test.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, mate, safety first! Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands, yeah?
• Safety Glasses: Keep that brake dust out of your peepers. Safety Glasses
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean from brake dust and grease. Nitrile Gloves
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that carbon dust before you start. Makes the job cleaner and easier. Brake Cleaner
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents sticking. It's a no-brainer, really.

Fitment Tips
Double-check the new rotors fit your specific Holden year and model. Rotor sizes and setups can vary. And remember, always do rotors in pairs for even braking.
