Just having to replace the front rotors due to run out (warpage) and apparently DBA have superseded their straight slotted rotors in favour of a cross slotted (?) rotor that is not directional. It is also deemed to be a heat treated rotor that is better for heavy applications such as towing. I have gone ahead an ordered some, which are made to order, but cant see any pics or info for them. Apparently they run happily with the Bendix Heavy duty pads.
Has anyone heard of or even fitted these before. I believe them to be a fairly new item and can't see them on the web site but look like this from what I have been told.

Funny as if you had checked my sponsors section, I have just brought 7 sets in on sale lol

They have the angled slots, these are the directional sort, they are heat treated and also have paint strips on them so if they do get heated you can tell to what extent.

Best pad to run is the QFM as many have found over recent years

They sound like the 4000 series, or are they different again? The 4000s have the different slots and the heat strips.

Bugger. I have been busy for a while and haven't been on here. How much are they going for?

Thanks for the link Braedz . I have already ordered the brand new version of the ones shown in the link but am only paying around $210-220 each for them through my brake supplier who I have found to be pretty reasonable. I am one with a nose for a bargain and like to shop around.

After all that they wont have the new ones for another couple of months so they made up some 4000's . These are coupled with the Bendix heavy duty pad. What does everyone else run with them?
