Just wondering if anyone has had RDA Disc and Pads if so what do you think of them ?
Cheers
RDA are good products, I run the RDA slotted rotors and they have lasted ages so far and never once needed machining.

So would these be worth the price ? HOLDEN VT,VX,VU,VY VZ RDA ROTORS *Ultimate Performance* | eBay
Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift them
I can't find any reference to these "Ultimate performance grooving" discs apart from this eBay page, which leads me to believe (along with the ad wording) that these guys add the slots and dimples themselves, which sounds dodgy, and would void the RDA warranty.
GSLRallySport sell RDA rotos, including the "Slotted/Dimpled Gold Passivated" rotors for about (I think, ask Greg at GSL) $315 for the pair. These look very cool in the gold look.
Look like this but with the different Holden centre,

RDA discs are good but don't use the pads in a commodore they will squeal.
if i'm spending $350 on discs i may as well go double that for the 320mm VE brake upgrade pack

If you go RDA, go easy on them at the start. I put slotted rotors all round and made the mistake of using the pads that came with them. I took one drive up/down a mountain a few days later and the rotors warped quite badly.
Pay more and get better pads.
GSL sell the standard discs for about $40-$45 each, I can't remember exact price, ask them. Then buy thier pads, either the A1RMs if you want the best, or they have a new pad line that just came in for more basic stuff.
