where does everyone buy their rotors from? i'm in need of some new ones. i heard RDA is cheaper than DBA.
suggestions in victoria?
 
I got mine from the tyre shop up the road, can't remember the exact price but it was CHEAP!

The RDA slotted rotors I bought were half the price of the equivalent model in DBA
 
I can source RDA at 125/pair. You'll obviously need 2 pairs.

I think jayrome can do about the same price through his guys who are in melb.

best price ive found for new slotted discs :)
 
RDA rotors are a hell of a lot cheaper at trade price than they are at RRP, in some cases over 100%, though they do seem to give better trade prices to different entities.

A mate of mine picked up a set of slotted RDA rotors for $90 for his VR4 when he worked for a reasonably big chain in Sydney, but since he's moved to a smaller shop, the best he could get for me was $125 or so. I'd been quoted $300/pair retail from a few shops.

If you've got friends in the industry, shop around!
 
As far as I'm aware, they're completely different.

RDA are made by RDA in Melbourne, and DBA are made by DBA here in Silverwater (Sydney)

I've used both, but have never noticed a difference, besides the price - in my experience RDA are substantially cheaper.
 
I've been told DBA are much higher in quality.

I've used both but its difficult to notice on the street which one is better than the other...

But we can assume DBA is the better of both due to the fact that alot of super cars / performance cars using DBA's over RDA.

plus DBA has the 5000 series and the kangaroo paw.
 
RDA and DBA are different... the pattern of the slots on the rotors are different aswell.

DBA are twice the price, so you could go through 2 sets of RDA rotors and still be even with DBA
 
The only bad thing i've heard about the RDA's is that they don't last quite as long as the DBA's. But you could nearly buy 2 sets of RDA's for the price of DBA's anyway! So I suppose it's whatever you can afford now and whatever is eaisiest to get ahold of.
