Looking to buy some replacements

I'm looking to replace my exicting pickups for some Dimarzio's. I have a Charvel San Dimas which has a duncan JB-4 in the bridge and duncan SH-1 in the neck and basiclly I'm looking for something a little hotter. I play mostly rock/metal and play lead also. I ws thinking maybe the Petrucci set up as in the D Sonic and the Liquifire as I used to have a Petrucci signature and they always sounded really good.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Cheers
Steve

Maybe my message reads badly but I'm looking to buy some dimarzios. I already have Seymour Duncans and would like to replace them. Just wondering which Dimarzios would be the best option.

Try Chris at Rock Monkey Guitars - he's a superb pickup maker and will custom wind pretty much anything you want, for about the same price as a Duncan/Dimarzio. http://www.rockmonkeyguitars.com/
