sorry rob .been away with the kids since last week.i,m using hilux solid rotors because i,ve got the calipers to suit.if you use subaru front calipers (they have handbrake attachments) you will need solid rotors as well.cheers sig

i'd say any that ya want armourguard... just remember that the newer calipers will probably require a bit more fluid/pressure in em to activate correctly.. not 100% sure on this but i think rokhound had a little trouble with this when he upgraded his monsters brakes on the rear.... he might chime in with a bit of insight...
i'm going subaru leonie calipers....
