Rda Front Slotted Rotors

[Andyn]

Hey,

Has anyone purchased these brand rotors? If so what was the part number of the front slotted rotors (For the R32gtst) and how much did it set you back?

Any general comments about this brand? A lot of items are half the price of DBA's and I have only heard good things about it (Also its Aussie company).

RDA909 is the base part number. From memory, I think you might add an SL for slotted. Anyway the shop you order them from should know what you are talking about if you say you want RDA909 slotted.

Should be somewhere around $170-$200 for the pair.

Yeah $182 a pair for that number at Race Brakes Sydney 02 9609 1101

[Andyn]

Cheers guys.

Thats a pretty damn good price for a pair.

What are DBA's? I remember they were around that for one.

I was talking to a mate who has a set of slotted rotors on the front of his R32. He mentioned he had a set of DBA's or something where the slots were straight, he said when jumping on the brakes really hard at the end of Mallala straight.you could feel the slots pulsate/vibrate a tad.

He ended up getting a set of std rotors and had them slotted with curved slots, now he has nice smooth braking.

For the price of RDA's.. straight slots.. I care less.

Bit of a wank factor every time you feel the 'slots' lol.

I use RDA slotted on my gts25t racecar and prefer them over DBA as the slots go all the way through without the afterthought reverse slot DBA have.

Never had a problem with vibration or pulsations using RB74 pads and braided lines with a massive stopper so I expect it would be a rotor with an area of cementite transformation due to a hard braking moment and then not getting off the brakes while stopped. I feel the feedback from RE55S semis more than anything anyway.

RDA have a new option with curved slots and dimples (not drilled through) for GTR so may be available for GTSt

I don't have any pulsating on the brake pedal either with slotted rotors. They do make a chaffing sound as the wheels spin around though.

The current range of RDA/EBC Brakes is known as the "turbo groove" which uses curved slots and a dimple design rather than cross drilling. According to EBC using the dimple eliminates tiny hairline cracks that can form with cross drilled brakes.

I would like to buy some for my R33 GTST where's the best place and for how much?

Andyn,

I got myself a complete set some months ago for my R32 GTR. I have had no problem with them although i am running Project U level 900 pads now so i know they will be harder on the disc than the Bendix ultima pads iwas running but they could just not stand up to 3 track days

I got mine from ABS and i paid 710$ for the complete set for the GTR.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up buying some a pair of front slotted. For $195 for the pair, you can't really go wrong.

I used these on my 32 with EBC Greensuff pads and was VERY impressed. Makes for an awesome street setup and works great for the occasional weekend warrior ( but no good for the hard core track junkie ). I would have stuck with them if I knew where I could get more ( I now know ). Some people complain that they wear out too fast but IMO, it wasn't that bad and the stopping power and lack of brake dust was worth the wear rate.
