Well i bought these. DBA are awesome quality in Australia - one of the best.

They have these "DBA Gold" Cross drilled and slotted rotors available in their catalog for the 1.5L Lanos (you can also just get them slotted if you like - but the drilled looks sexy).
It was still a special order 3 week wait since they keep none in stock, not much call for it...

Plugging the forum

Im still searching for EBC green stuff pads for the 1.5L Lanos with the smaller (235mm) rotors.

wow those look really nice, except that they will probably eat your brake pads 3x as fast lol.

why not do a up grade to the 1.6 lanos front brakes? with the extra power from the turbo you will want to stop better. but those rotars do look nice

The 1.6L rotors were only fractionally bigger (256mm vs 236mm) and not worth the hassle of changing the lot out.
I never really found the amount of stopping power was a problem for me. I've always respected the car like that.
My biggest problem was from brake fade - but that would've been more from the pad selection...

I needed new rotors anyways, mine have some lips on them (done 120k kms and never been touched so im not complaining) .

stopping is always a problem for me with the N/A 1.5 SOHC... i'd upggrade to 1.6 DOHC if i have the chance.

Tim: nice find man... those look very nice, keep us informed about how they perform... i'd be intrested in a cross drilled set for me if the 1.6 upgrade is not attainable... they do have just cross drilled rotors... don't they??

BTW the piston in the 1.6 brakes is bigger as well as the pad size so it is better all arround not just rotor size.
