RDA disc rotors vs DBA rotors

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Yep, I will back up what gsrallysport said.

DBA are the ones that are misleading when they claim their rotors are Australian made, only a small selection are. Just because something is made in China, doesn't mean it is poor quality. An Australian owned company that has it's manufacturing plant in China is only taking advantage of less expensive labour and overheads. the same manufacturing tools and techniques are used as if they are made in Australia, just made in China. (Most of the time).

Also just to take that point one step further, the RDA manufacturing plant in China is owned by RDA, and does soley their stuff. They have complete control of the quality. On the hand hand, and as NAAB rightly points out, DBA are manufacturing alot of their gear overseas, but not in their own factory, but to the cheapest bidder.

Like I said, unless you're buying 4000 or 5000 series DBA, you're FAR BETTER off buying RDA...

Have used rda on my caprice for awhile and seem to be all good

Just installed RDA's front and back. More than happy with them

Does anybody know the price of the DBA 4000/5000??

I have RDA slotted rotors on the front and rear of my VS. Been on there for over two years and haven't had a problem.

DBA 4000 Series Wiper Slot are worth $295 each. Just got some for my Statesman.

Iv got the slotted and dimpled RDA roters that I picked up for $250 for all 4 brand new.
Fairly happy with them.
I think my pads thou QFM HPX have let me down.
Just need better stoping force as I'm driving a 2 tonne car.

Look at the top of the forum for GSL Rallysport. Ask in there and Greg will give you a good price (nice bloke too).

Are they the same pads that got paint all over them ?

I have the exact same rotors, the Gold dimpled and slotted RDA's. I have had them for over a year and they have been flawless. They make a little noise but nothing to loud.
