Default Harrison brakes

I'm about to send my rear calipers (R33 Skyline) off to be rebuilt and will also fit new pads and rotors. I had a chat to the people at Race Brakes down here and they recommended DBA 4000 series rotors and their RB74 pads. $320 and $180 respectively to supply.

Any Harrison owners running this combination and how do you rate them? Any other recommendations? I expect at least 80% road duty and maybe 4 or 5 track sessions per year.

I originally asked about lower spec brakes given the low weight of the Cobra. He pointed out that being almost 50/50 weight distribution the rears will actually get a pretty good workout on the track.

He said to throw out the late model (VT, VZ, VE) Commodore front calipers, they flex badly when pushed hard - to the point where customers have had pads falling out on the track. Crikey.
