Currently I am having a lot of trouble finding replacement brake disk for my DC5
Honda doesn't have any in stock (and they said they will cost like 300/ disk)
DBA doesn't make the correct size
RDA doesn't seem to have the car in the product catalog
Managed to find the EBC part number for ones that will fit, but I can't find anyone who sells EBC here.
have anyone ran into this problem before? what options do I have?
thanks guys

Decided to just upgrade to Type R brakes to solve the rotor availability problem, however, I am still having difficulty finding rear rotors
anyone mind sharing what rotor they used for the rear in their DC5?
much appreciated

Yeah the rears can be annoying to find. When I had to change my rotors, the fronts I got DBA which I ordered through Supercheap for around $180 each if memories serves correct. The rears I just got oem so ordered through Honda. Prices can vary between dealers too, because Yarra Honda quoted me $260 each for rear rotor, yet Courtney & Patterson quoted me $201 each. You can guess which one I bought from hehe.
Hope this helps

wow, that is as expensive as DBA4000 slotted fronts. Do we have any alternatives?

Yeah quite expensive but that's dealers for ya, best you can do is buy from the cheaper dealer. I looked through the DBA catalogue at the time and while the front rotors were listed DC5R, the rears were nowhere to be found, so I assumed that in DBA's case, they don't make an equivalent rear rotor for our cars (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
