Re:
Not sure about your choice Michael, as I had major problems when using EBC Green Stuff brake pads with slotted rotors and I was advised by both EBC and DBA against such a combination. I have experienced major vibrations which required the rotors to be machined more than once, as the brake dust from the EBC pads was getting trapped in the slots.
EBC pads compound material is too soft to be used with slotted discs. They perform prefectly fine with standard discs.

Re: T31 X-Trail Brake Pads & Rotors
Just reporting back on the DBA slotted rotors and Bendix 4WD pads I have installed on the front recently. They are brilliant. Have been over the Blue Mountains with the camper trailer twice in the last month. Once before the install and once after. Huge difference. No fade, no vibrations. Really impressed. Will be getting the Bendix pads on the rear before next service.

Re:
Great news Todd, they should last a lot longer than standard rotors too.

Re:
Indeed and you will the braking power will certainly improve as well. At least that is what I felt with the T30 when I fitted the exact same combination.

Re:
$105 is RRP. I've seen the Bendix 4WD Pads for about $80-$88 online (not sure on shipping)
Anyway... my job for the weekend is to install these puppies on the front

Don't have a photo of my GreenStuff ones.
Hopefully with the new slotted pattern, my RDA/EBC combo will be good.

Re: T31 X-Trail Brake Pads & Rotors
Bendix 4WD pads are $91 on ebay. Just search the part numbers listed in this thread.
