if RDA brand not available you may get EBC D7122 & D7123 of the same quality & fitment in slotted.

Hey Rianto

thanks mate

Hi Rianto,

I received mine today.

They are the EBC (GD 7122/7123) Turbo Grooved ones. They look awesome.

These are not the gold passivated ones.

Should i still paint the Hat (Hub) to avoid rust?

Any help would be great.

I wouldnt' suggest painting it, as they may not look nice when they start to peel off. and it might be tricky not to get any paint layer on the hub contact point between your rims and the hub or the friction area where the pads contact...

plus they'll be behind the wheel most of the time it's not really that obvious whether surface rust is forming or not, as long as you use your car regularly that shouldn't be an issue, if not keep it in a garage/shed to reduce the moisture from overnight dew.

but if you want you can always paint the hub if you like. I can't stop you :-)

oh yeah, druz, i think based on your order it was suppose to be slotted in normal non-gold finish, but since they can't find RDA in stock, they use EBC which comes in grooved pattern but has normal non-gold finish. so in a way you kind of getting a little 'bonus' in the form of the slot & dimple patterns.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
