Hi Rorz,

I can supply a high carbon content Euro spec rotor called Fremax for $117 inc gst per front rotor. The easiest way to order is credit card over the phone, 1300 884 836, or else swing me your full name, email address, delivery address (preferably a work or business address!! including the business name) and contact number and I can fire you through an quote with direct deposit details.

Also if you need brake fluid, the fluid that we use and recommend is the Penrite Super Dot 4 Fluid, which is $8.49 for a 500ml bottle, and rated to 275 degrees dry. Two bottle is usually enough for a full car flush.

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Regards Matt

Hey Matt, it's for a Cube Cubic BGZ11...funny enough found one of your page:

http://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/gsp32...eet-basis.html

Also, is there a DBA equivalent to RDA7127?

Hi,

The reason that is on our website is because it would have been in our full price list from Tein. And the reason it is not on the Tein website is because it is not a kit that they bring into the country. I can order it for you but there would be about a 2 month wait on getting it in.

And no sorry, that looks to be an RDA number only.

Hi Matt


Thanks for that, what options do I have in regard to pads for this thing?

Hi Matt

Hi Rorz,

The pad I would recommend would be a brand called Remsa. Remsa is a European performance pad which is rated to 650 degrees, and with a high carbon content, they provide low rotor wear. Also the Remsa come with noise reducing features such as a centre relief groove and side chamfers in the pad material, as well as a soft backing shim. We've been supplying Remsa to high performance street road cars like Porsche and Ferrari for many years, but the pricing has now become such that we're now able to expand it to most road cars. I can supply the front set for $166 inc gst. Plus you will require two new sensors which are $24.60 inc gst each.

Matt, Up for set of front rotors and pads for the Turbo Taxi (BF) quite soon. Last time I just got RDA slotted and QMF-HPX pads off you. Still the good thing for a daily that sees the odd bit of spirited driving, or is there better? Wanna shoot us a current price when you get a chance too. Cheers.

Hi,

Those pads would still be the way to go, same price as before. But if you wanted to step up the rotors, i would recommend the DBA 4000 series T3 slotted rotors, these are $231 inc gst per front rotor.

What about the newer RDA's, I've 'heard' that the new slotted+dimpled ones are an improvement? Only had to machine the old RDA's once and they've done 85,000km now.

Hi,

The new slotted and dimpled rotors are no better in performance than what they were before. The only thing that has changed is the coating they use to stop the non swept area of the rotor from rusting. They have gone from a Gold Passivated (galvanized) coating to a black high pressured steam treated coating. If anything this has made the rotors worse than before, sure they are cheaper now, but that black coating takes almost twice as long to bed pads into. We have had lots of feed back from people saying that the brakes feel very doughy and lacking in bite until that coating has worn away.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to the quality of the steel, and DBA have always been a much better quality rotor because of there higher carbon content steel. The better the carbon content, the more heat the rotor can take, and the longer they will last. An RDA is just a cheap chines trade servicing rotor made to look sporty. Don't get me wrong, i am not saying they are shit, and dont buy them, but they are better suited to road cars that dont really see a lot of stress.

Good food for thought. I've got about 2mm of 'legal' wear to think about it haha. Cheers.

[Spoonfed]

Another question, once either RDA's or DBA's are bedded in, any noticable difference in braking performance, particularly bite? Or is it just better heat handling (so keeps working when really hot?) and wear DBA has over RDA?

I find the current combo of the RDA's HPX pads lacks a quite a bit in initial bite. Have read Bendex Ultimates or Remsa's have good initial bite but put out more powder than a PF night at the Cabaret club. (HPX are really good in this regard).

Weird.
My own experience is the RDA's perform better than DBA's.
Never had a cracking, warping/DTV issue with RDA rotors. Same car, same conditions, DBA's (street and 4000's) cracked, warped (DTV I assume), one rotor split in two etc etc.

RDA for lyfe bro. Good enough for taxis, good enough for 400wheelHP street cars.

I have RDA slotted and HPX pads on nopics pulsar and the initial bite is outstanding. Surprises everyone that drives it. For a grocery getter, can't have better.

good brakes on that car are a must :D

[Spoonfed]

I found the same also actually with RDA vs DBA years ago on a different car. DBA even got on car machining done and yet still issues. I cracked and put some RDA's on, never an issue again.

Interesting also find the HPX bite hard for the Pulstart. Maybe the taxi is too heavy for them lol.

It is always interesting to hear peoples feedback on brakes. I can confidently say that it is "generally" always the same. But then you do get a few people that will have a completely different experience with a set up that you have sold hundreds of times before. As per my experience, the HPX pads do have relatively good initial bite, but this also is perceived differently with everyone because of the massive amount of variables, for instance every car is different, everyone uses their car differently, and everyone has different expectations about what their brakes should do whether they have a brand new car or a classic old car.

In regards to cracking and warping (DTV), a lot of people do get come to us concerned that they have cracked rotors, but in actual fact what they are seeing is a build up of pad material on the face of the rotor that is cracking due to the temps the brakes have been seeing or if the brakes are quite old and are just cracking due to all the heat cycles the brakes have gone through. Generally if you have a genuinely cracked rotor, you would be able to fit your finger nail in the crack. But we have never had a case like this ever reported to us because it is just that rare with any brand of rotor.

DTV or Disk Thickness Variation is 99% of the time never the fault of the rotor itself. Most of the time it is because the brakes have been fitted incorrectly or something was forgotten along the way. Which i might add the list is quite long. The most common reason for this to occur is putting new pads on old rotors without machining the rotors first. Other common reasons include not cleaning the hub before placing the rotor on the hub, incorrect bedding in of the pads, overly soft cheaply made pads, over tightening the wheel nuts with a rattle gun ect ect.

To answer your question Spoonfed, as a rule the rotor does not have a great impact on initial bite, that all comes down to the pad. And yes the DBA's having a higher carbon content will mean that it will take more heat and with the Kangaroo Paw veining will dissipate the heat better.
