...I just got back from Autobarn to get a quote for new rotors for my car,

Bendix Ceramic Disc Pads = $64.99
DBA Disc Rotors = $139.99
DBA Slotted Disc Rotors = $778


....what an absolute rip off...
$204.98 for the normal pads and normal rotors vs $842.99 .......xxxxxx much? lol
 
Ouch that's pricey. Why not try RDA rotors and EBC green stuff pads??? RDA rotors are as good as DBA (but usually cheaper) and EBC you should find are a superior pad to what Bendix offer.
 
!! LIES ....nah ive already ordered my bendix stuff and got em here next to me - just waitin for rotors to come in :D ive got no complaints with the pads, the amount of punishment i put them through and they dont throw brake dust all over the place which is a nice addon to the amount of hills cruises i do
 
Thats just because you've never tried EBC Redstuffs. I thought my Bendix HDs were good at first, I drove the Redstuffs and thought hmmm nothing special, but after a few stops they had a warmed up and they just bite like nothing else!! The stopping power is incredible!

Oh and my beast sits flat through corners now on her coilovers! :cool:
 
hopefully pick up my DBA's today :D and if they look good enough i might skip home to parents to use dads tools to change em over before cruise friday :p
 
Heavy braking?

Ha steve, you have to come for a spin in my car, EBC Redstuff fronts and grooved and fimpled RDA rotors. Pulls up heaps *fudge*ing quick!!
 
lol erm........well.... in emergency situations...need best braking performance possible :p lol! thats my reason and im stickin to it
 
my handbrake sucks balls lol cant even stop the wheels spinnin unless im turnin a corner - but in a straight line it just bogs the rear down but no squeelin comin from em so im guessin theyre not fully locked -_- stupid drum brakes

on the up side! my new rotors arrived today and theyre so little piddly ones :p made my cry a little inside - then i was like aww theyre gonna be on my precious soon n that got me all revved back up again :D gonna be sweet!! ....whats the deal with wearing rotors in? guess i could google it to find in the procedure but meh why not start some discussion on here bout it! :p ...i remember seein a youtube video that they wear r35 brakes in my applying the handbrake lightly while driving at a constant pressure.....then again my pads have some ant baking stripe or somethign on it to stop glazing....so im guessin just treat them decent for the first 500 or so km then go for it like normal brakes? :S
 
-_- guy ordered the wrong rotors for my car which i only found out after havin sanded the mounting plate for the rotors to get all the rust off - grrrr ....so now taken them back after puttin it ALL back together and finally ordered in the right DBA 413 rotors....grrr I WANT MY NEW BRAKES
 
:lol: Shut up Steve, Drakos is right, it's upgrading and not wasting! :p
