check out some of the ebay rotor prices some are cheaper than the auto shops, ring around and check ebay as the prices vary a great deal for the same brands.

Rotors are about $75 to $200 each depending up what you get. Go to the Disc Brakes Australia website and have a look. Fit new wheel bearings whilst your at it, get the front calipers pulled apart, cleaned out and a new seal kit fitted, new fluid and new r |

Upgrade ?? Those brakes should be fine. I find my HQ Prem can outbrake the Calais. Has a better feel, feels solid and no crappy ABS to get in the way.
Maybe change your pads (front & rear), and make SURE that the rears are working and adjusted properly
