Metal Gear at Brendale Qld are on eBay.
Good product.  Reliable supplier.

The metal gear rotors are as good as OEM and a lot cheaper. A set will also come with matching brake pads.

I have a pair Rob, you should have got in when you wanted the rest of the gear because Wombat wants the r/h, his is warped.

I wouldnt want to be using "straightened" disks(discs, shiny round things in the middle of the wheel) Metal gear is the way to go.

Performance is great.  After rain and sitting a little while there is some small surface rust,  no more then the OEM that I can remember.

I'm happy enough that I will go a rear disc soon.
