<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yerh but i got prices and there 1000bux

a little bit too expensive for me

[AzzurrA]

1000 bux? that must have been for 4, as the slotted ones were around $230 each i thought....

unless you are looking for 4?

[gt-t_r34]

yerh for 4 there all shagged fronts a warped really BAD and backs are really wavy

[AzzurrA]

ah, okay, fair enough, i thought you were just talking about the front 2...

do you need slotted on the rear though? maybe just get standard replacement ones, with some half-decent pads?

Try a search for RDA to find out what other people have thought of them, plenty of people use them

[gt-t_r34]

i was just going to get them with this guy cause they were reasonably cheap and i dont no if he has the standards

are these the rda ones i wasnt too sure doesnt say..?

"2 (A Pair) FRONT RDA PERFORMANCE SLOTTED ROTORS"

so they're RDA Rotors, and only the front 2...

[cowie165]

From Repco I picked up 2 DBA908's (rears) and 2 DBA4926's (slotted fronts) for $260pr and $363pr respectively. Worth looking into. The fronts were a bit cheaper than retail but you should be able to grab a pair for just over $400.

edit: stupid brain, can't do maths

before you bid, get a price direct from rda.

from memory for solid standard rotors i paid $99 per rotor. RDA are fine, and also a lot cheaper than DBA

[gt-t_r34]

yerh i sent him a email bout gettin all 4

ill ring rda tomorrow ill probly end up getting slotted fronts and standard rear... i mite have to get new pads too because the warped rotors will have stuffed them yerh??

[joh21m]

with new discs im pretty sure you need new pads to bed (or whatever the correct term is) them in, you cant use your old pads...

someone correct me if im wrong...

[AzzurrA]

you're wrong

it is better/easier if you use your old pads to bed the new rotors in.. i'll write up the process, according to DBA, when i get home tonight

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

you have to get the old pad, and put it on concrete surface with pad surface down, then stand on it and rub it

this gets rid of any grooves cut into the pad by uneven wear on the rotor

they usually say when you get new discs to get new pads aswell because if you don't rough up the pad surface, it will cut the same grooves into the disc surface

[joh21m]

haha i stand corrected...
