RDA slotted and dimpled front discs

Post by yotka »

Hello All,

Has anyone used this product before?

Is there any noticeable difference in braking distance/power?

We did a group buy on these a few years ago. They were alright for the money, but either because of the rotors or the Bendix pads I used, I never thought they were really exceptional.

Now that DBA stock most every variety of front rotor for the FTO, I'd personally be inclined to go with them. Or while you're at it, do the PFL Galant/Legnum caliper upgrade with the larger rotors. ;)

I find mine fine, using EBC red stuffs. No noticeable difference between RDA slotted and dimpled and the normal Protex ones I used, all in the pads.

Taking the car on track at Winton in Nov so I can report back then...

You won't notice any difference in stopping power. That's not what the slots are there for. And the only thing the dimples are for is to make them look pretty, until they fill with dust and rust.

So that's why you gave them to me!

Front and rear rotors have been on the car for the last 2 months ++.

Looking spank! The old rotors were really tired looking in comparision, from memory.
