Glad to hear you just receive it. For those in first batch who haven't received it, please allow till Wednesday. Contact me if not yet receive by then and I'll follow up with Scott at the head office here in Keysborough.

The rotors (as well as most new automotive parts) are always covered in a coat of oil, the reason to this is to prevent rust over long period of storage or exposure to moisture during transport.

You don't need to get it oil free before installation, but give it a good wipe around the rotors with a piece or rag clothing. If you asking a mech to do it, they'll know what to do.

If you're not gonna install it soon, just leave that coat of oil on your rotors until you're ready to install it.

let me know how you guys go with them. can hear mine rubbing against the pads. not sure if they do that will beding in or not? still bit of oil on them too maybe thats a factor? havent put new pads on yet either running the pads i had with the old rotors. piece of paper in the box said to replace pads but havent as yet.

Money transferred today, bring on the 2nd batch :sorcerer:

jasont82 - I am pretty sure and the dba instruction sheet said that you are supposed to use a non oil base cleaner and clean the oil off the sides of the rotors that touch the pads before you fit them. I couldn't imagine the rdas would be any different?? Have you done this?? If not I would check and clean them before fitting the new pads....

rs73 - received my rotors today. Thanks for organising the group buy. Cheers

I was told by my mechanic that the general rule is you should always replace pad when you replaced the rotors, rotors are too expensive to get scored by old pads that has poor surface, I didn't replaced mine but at that time of replacement on the front, the front pads were less than a few thousands km and there's hardly any grooves on the old rotors, so the pads were ok. I'm not sure if sanding or machining your old pad to obtain a flat surface will work just as good as new pad or not...

[700HP-GTR33]

very easy to install. look great thanks again.

Can you change do mine aswell?

Thanks received mine today,,....great group buy to the organisers

[rs73]

Evening update:

I've decided to submit the 2nd batch of group buy tomorrow as there's another 3 transfer coming through today and perhaps 1 more tomorrow. So there will be 10 people in the 2nd batch. Looking at how fast some of you who were in the 1st batch, I'm sure that the 2nd batch will be delivered before Friday...

All 15 people from the 1st batch have received their rotors...

[siksII]

use some stuff called brake clean to clean the discs before u put them on make sure there is no oil on there! u can get it anywhere, wont cost much.

[dd4321]

Got mine today... delivered to my office. Damn they are heavy. Ended up carrying them from my office in the city, gone home by train and 15 mins walk from the station... nearly broke my arms in the process, but definitely worth it. Looks good.

Thanks heaps Rianto for organising this. You're a legend mate!
