I am up for front rotors and pads for my early 91 SW AUD NA. I have been looking at the RDA slotted and dimpled rotors as DBA don't make them for mine and was looking at the EBC yellows.( or are reds better). My driving is club cruises and one track day a year. ( Fairly hard driving I think)
Any thoughts or words of wisdom, etc? Was looking at getting from Online performance in Melbourne (e-bay store).

Better brakes?  
 
Quite apart from rotors and pads, consider checking other stuff for wear, like front wheel bearings, ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends. Any wear in those could cause brake judder/ steering shake with heavy braking.
 
How long since the calipers were serviced? At least check/re-lube the slides.
 
Make sure there is no hub run out. If there is any, you may be able to index the rotors to the hub for best pad/rotor wear and smooth operation.
 
Using performance brake fluid changed regularly, and bled properly is also important.

Thanks Reddtarga; I will check the brake system and replace fluid. The brakes always have worked well but trip to Nationals and track day at QLD raceway have worn them out.
