I dont have any tools etc , not even a garage . For $150 im getting everything cleaned and installed . I know its more hardcore to work on your car yourslef but im just too lazy/busy Its literally double the price for Dba but im guessing you dont get double the value. Apparently the Rdx pads are the premium pads for Rda Rotors , according to what I was told. I appreciate the helpful advice from everyone -- I basically saved myself $400-$500 today by getting quick responses from everyone and still getting decent new rotors/pads Thanks everyone

Just found out my rotors are 325mm . I have the premium brake package with PBR Calipers , the rotors in that Ebay ad are too small. I just got a quote of $400 for 325mm Rda Rotors and Rdx pads . Im going ahead with that I think. Apparently you pay a lot for the name with Dba which are similar to Rda , according to the owner of a Brake shop in Fawkner I just spoke to .

to be honest it was me niggling him , it initially wasnt an option but I wore him down .. lol

ok thanx stiflr

pretty sure the hub was cleaned . thanks for that link. theres so many cheap rotors on ebay for an xr6t my heads in a spin. I found these , they look okay too . http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/504-CURVED-SLOTTED-ROTORS-FRONT-FORD-BA-XR6-XR8-XR6T-/140764577177?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c638fd99

$900 was my quote inc cleaning , labour , new rotors and pads up front. If anyone can point me in the direction/link of a good deal , would be appreciated. I dont even know where to start and tomoz is my deadline .

haha.. what gets me is I basically only use this car to just drive to work and back. Malvern to Altona 5 days a week . Im not hard on the brakes and the shudder is still present . Wonder if I can upgrade the diameter .

yep bushes are all fine - everything under car is good - im not sure re diameter, car is at mechanics atm , some idea in pic

Hi , I have an Auto 04 Ba Xr6T with 160k and premium brakes. Rotors were machined about 10-15k ago and shudder has returned . I have Pbr Calipers and slotted rotors to match . Its $100 to remachine them but they will be underspec at 29.5 ish mm , falling just shy of the 30mm legal mark. Other option is $900 for new slotted rotors and new pads. I have by tomoz to give an answer but im not sure what to do. Anyone have any sugguestions ? Is there a foolproof way to fix this annoying brake shudder or a rotor that is shudder prrof ? shudder is annoying me ! im aware this is a well debated topic, I read 4 pages and everyone seems to disagree ...

For well over a year my 04 XR6T has had occasional misfiring and power loss "fluttering" when accelerating hard ... annoying part is that its totally unpredictable , most days it does not do it , and those "good" days it has have ALWAYS been when ive dropped it off to a performance garage to get it checked ! (damn thing) , usually involving me catching POOblic transport home and no car for days. Finally had enough and today when it was misfiring, I took it to DYnomotive and they told me it needs a set of 6 new coils , they said it was an obvious fix, (had all spark plugs changed last week by them) After all this time and headache I cant believe out of all the other people who looked at it, nobody even sugguested it might be the coils. I bought the coils today from ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170742879770?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 , way cheaper than bursons and apparantly better quality.

Thanks boys , much appreciated . stealth mode.. lol
