For the price of those pads i would go racebrakes RB74's

[NickR33]

I just got RDA gold slotted and dimpled, throught these forums, for a very decent price but I am not allowed to quote pricing in here... check user rs73's group buy in the classified section... however I am not sure how they compare in performance to the DBA's...

Ring UAS in Sydney. ( www.nismo.com.au) Im pretty sure you will save a few dollars even after postage...im yet to find a place in NSW/VIC/SA that can beat his DBA prices

I run RDA slotted street rotors. I've heard people saying that they have seen them crack through the grooves as they go to the very outside edge. I've abused these for close to 15000km's and have had no problems. I've seen the DBA ones crack, but that was due to other influences instead of regular driving.

I've run RB74's on the street as well as track use. I don't rate them very highly. They are fine for a few fast laps, but then they seem to give you a spongy pedal. This was with Motol RBF600 and braided lines with rebuilt calipers. I managed to split the friction material which then broke away from the backing plate. They also got very crumbly. They also chew up your rotors pretty good when they are cold.

I spoke to The guys at race brakes and they told be that I was over heating them too much. My understanding was that they were a race pad suitable up to 650deg F. The pads also warped. The centre section of the friction material was starting to scallop out. I was aware that this might happen when they drop below 50%, but these were up around the 75%.

Racebrakes Comp 2 pads are awesome. I've never had any problems with them. They seem to last and don't fall to bits. Great bite, even when cold.

[Husky33]

yeah i never recommended them for the track. There are better pads out there.

But track or street, they are a better pad than the bendix ultimates at that price range

I've just pad $120 for bendix Ultimates. The RB74's I'm looking at $185. I'd prefer the Ultimates. Better cold bite, less noise, less dust. Don't chew out rotors when cold.etc

What pads do you think are better for the track??? Before we head dowm the Green/Black stuff pads, they out-gas pretty fast and you end up with glazed rotors pretty quickly. I also cannot use them on my slotted rotors as the outgassing fills up the slots, rendering them useless! For $300+ pr, I'd like something that was substancially better.

[Husky33]

hmm i paid 120 for the rb74's, good cold bite and no noise whatsoever, which is what turned me off the ultimates aswell.

I use project mu pads for hard braking, they are awesome.

Get a price on the ultimates at repco Khoa. I got mine for $100 a pair, after just being quoted $130 at autobarn. I went to repco asked for a price, they asked me if I had any other quotes...I said autobarn said $120.

Repco said, RRP is $144 on the computer, so i'll do em for $100 a set .

Justin went to his repco the next day and told them that I got them for $100 a set, so they did his for $90

They've also beaten SK's GB prices on all the whiteline stuff so far, and thats without me even trying to get the price down...just ask for a quote, and they were cheaper

Ultimates are farking squeaky!

i've had them for the last 2000km and i was at a point considering changing them back to stock street pads

I got my DBA slotted through my mechanic for $214 each

[saff_cossie]

I need rotors and pads all round also. DBA's are the recommended ones from what I can see.

[Omurru]

i've got ultimates on my commodore and never had any problems with squeaking. If they make noise i woud say they haven't been bedded in properley. do get alot of dust with them though......

I always thought rda's were the better ones as the dba's crack.....

ABS (www.autobrakeservice.com.au)

Quoted me;

$122.50 for Bendix Ultimate

$179.50 for DBA 4000 slotted

Might try repco for a cheaper quote on bendix

[ferni]

You guys are talking about different rotors, different cars etc.. be careful

$180 for dba is pretty good

[Rekin]

DBA909S - is the model on the quote sheet. I think its from the 4000 series.

[West]

DBA4926 is for 32gtr.

This is the 4000 series with slot.

Also i've managed to find them for $200 each. Still searching.

Got the pricing in for mine today. I think I will go the 4000's instead of the 5000's as the cost difference is significant and this car is eating $$ at the moment

Going to go for Ferodo DS2500 pads

Interestingly, I learnt today, A good brake fluid is as important as good pads. Always thought fluid was fluid but if you have great brakes but crap fluid that boils, it defeats the object of the kick ass brakes in the first place.
