    Hi Guys.

    I have ordered a set of RDA slotted rotors for the VS and was just wondering if I can use the current set of Bendix CT pats that is currently on there or if I need pads suited to slotted rotors as the current bendix pads are only a month or 2 old.

    Regards

    I rekon the current pads should be alright since they are fairly new, just so long as they don't have any uneven wear.

    You don't need special pads for slotted rotors. I run DBA slotted rotors and Bendix CT pads.

    Correct, just give the pads a light rub on some smooth concrete to freshen them up a little...

    I was told by Bendix and DBA that CT's aren't compatible with their slotted rotors. Can you confirm that your pads work perfectly fine? I bought Ultimate's instead of CT's but they were cheap anyway..
