Give Your Holden's Brakes Some Love — with DBA Rotors
> Your disc brake rotors are prime real estate for your brake pads to do their job on your WB, Monaro, or Torana V8. When these rotors get past it – warped, cracked, or just plain worn out – your braking goes to custard. Time for a swap to keep things safe, especially in tough conditions.
Spotting Trouble
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)
• Brakes squealing like a gutted pig
• Taking forever and a day to stop
• Rotors looking like the surface of the moon (cracked and grooved)
• Tyres wearing out unevenly.
WOF Woes?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and without cracks to pass the test.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, a bit of prep goes a long way. Safety first: never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper stands. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean from all that brake dust. Give those rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of any carbon buildup. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize on the caliper bolts to stop them seizing up next time. Oh, and safety glasses, because nobody wants brake dust in their peepers.
Expert Advice
Swapping out your disc brake rotors is a no-brainer for keeping your classic Holden stopping sweet. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn – I'll sort you out with the perfect bits for your Holden.
Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors fit your exact Holden model and year. Rotor sizes can vary. Always replace rotors in pairs to keep braking even-stevens.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.

• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
