He works for Supercheap and can help you with most of the standard type stuff.

is there a big difference between rda and dba rotors????

since i need a set i would like to go for sloted brakes so what would be the best go???

 

[rob323]

Not if you are just using them for street use. I believe the DBA ones are zinc plated so that they won't rust up like the RDA ones do, but you generally pay more for them.

[jdm-vr4]

i have a quick question, i'm selling my old brake caliper and some guy asked me if they would fit onto his cc coupe lancer with gsr brakes????

would any one know????

thanks

 

[jdm-vr4]

he said the disks are 260 if that helps

 

[rob323]

They might but I don't know why he would bother as its not exactly an upgrade. They are a shit caliper (design wise) and you can't get any decent pads for them. Sorry, that doesn't really help you sell them does it.

 

[GVR40]

its a good job i checked the prices.

dba slotted rotors
rrp. - $485.93 pair
to you - $355 a pair

dba standard rotors
rrp - $325.93 pair
to you $240.00 pair

protex brand standard rotors
rrp $242.31 a pair
to you -$200.00 a pair

the difference between rda and dba rotors is in the design of them. dba has a kangaroo paw cooling system which helps to keep the rotors cool (less chance of warping), where as the rda has a traitional vent style.

 

[rob323]

If its only a street car and never or rarely going to see any form of competition, I wouldn't go for slotted rotors and wouldn't care about any kangaroo paws used in the casting process. For competition, with race pads, different story though, and I wouldn't go for either of them on a vr4.

if you get DBA 425's, in slotted, they're $110 each retail, they are for a magna but you only need to drill one hole and they fit perfect, they're already 3/4 drilled for 4stud along with being drilled for 5 studs. saves you over $200 in rotors.

yeah,but the you have a rotor with about 12 holes,

but that would be fine for street i guess
