| The drivers side front will always wear slightly more than the left due to slightly higher line pressure. The front right and the left rear are on the master cylinder circuit that has slightly higher pressure the other circuit. |

        Location: Brisbane,qld | Ordered two new rotors for the front( only availiable in pairs) $1000 for the blank rotors and 150 to add slots, or in my case , fish hooks plus $30 for freight to Qld, this is from Harrop, add a couple of hundred if you buy from TMR also you can buy the pads separatley for $60ea, so baisically it will cost any TMR owner this amount every 50 - 60 k depending on how hard you drive i guess, at the moment my front rotors go blue and you can feel the heat on you legs when you walk past the front wheels, i guess thats because they are so worn |

      Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | When I drive my TMR380 I am always amazed at how poor the stock brakes are.
Even the KSports dont stop as cleanly.
My missus always over presses the pedal . |
