Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — The DBA Way
> Your HSV's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads grab onto to slow you down. Over time, and especially under the tough conditions that HSVs like the SV6000, GTO, CLUBSPORT, GTS, and SENATOR are built for, these rotors can wear out, warp, or even crack. Time for a change, mate?
Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Your brake pedal's doing the jitterbug (pulsating)
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding
• Taking longer to stop than you'd like
• Rotors look like the surface of the moon (cracked or grooved)
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly
WOF Woes?
Worn brake rotors are a dead cert for a WOF failure here in NZ. They need to be within the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test. Don't get caught out!

• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
