Included shipping to VIC 179$ + 129$ = 308$ is it cheap? or should I just go with this :

Was thinking to changed mine since it starts squeking and squeeling sometimes.. Damn Winter!

Are you planning to use it for track? Few people have had RDA rotors crack...

[skyichigo]

Not for track only for daily use. But the differences is only like $50, and Brembo has more "brand quality" compared to RDA. how is Brembo quality? or is there any cheaper OEM for daily use?

Brembo is a good brand, but depends on what your getting. It's the same with everything, e.g. just because a CPU is made by Intel, doesn't mean it's gonna be good. The Atom is absolute crap. If you go DBA, I reckon for around the amount your paying, you could prob get slotted rotors, or perhaps bigger ones.

[skyichigo]

what else is my option between these 2 brands like DBA? or Bendix?

[ChaosMaster]

Simple question. Wouldn't the squeek or squeel normally be due to the pads? Why you targeting your rotors?

[skyichigo]

cause I have just replaced the pads to new one 2 months ago less than 2000kms.. and when I read this :

Vibration (Steering wheel or vehicle).
There is a vibration in the pedal, steering or entire vehicle when you apply the brakes.
This can indicate problems with the brake drum or rotor, a faulty steering mechanism, or other loose component. These conditions all affect the handling of your vehicle.

Sometimes when I brake, the steering does kind of vibrate (moving to left and right a bit).

[ChaosMaster]

Ok, fair enough. Another question would be are you sure it's your rear brakes? Don't think the rears would vibrate enough to affect the steering. DBA and Bendix are both decent brands. Although I always though DBA for Rotors and Bendix for pads... not sure why. Bendix has a trader on our forum though, so you could prob PM him and get a good price.

Try amazon instead. They got EBC made in UK slotted for that price iirc.

Plain brembos are just that... Plain Jane rotors

maybe you need to machine your rotors? or are they completely wrapped?

LOL the link I posted is for the front.. I am after front one. Rear one is fine, I pro'lly just changed its' pads.

PS: Slotted rotors look cool.

I got slotted and dimpled on mine.... bit of a wank... but for $270 front AND rear shipped I cant complain lol

Not completely wrapped, was just thinking to change them cause the noise, got a tyre shop looked at it yesterday before installing my new wheels , and the guy said everything is fine. As soon as I driven away, that sounds came back.. hate that squealing noise .. BTW, some people reckon just go new rotors.. how much for machining a rotor cost?
