bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 20y 2d Location: Canberra Posted 24/09/07 06:19 AM Share Posted 24/09/07 06:19 AM Hi guys, I'm looking at upgrading my brakes and just wondering if there is any difference in quality, performance, etc, between the DBA and RDA slotted rotors? Rotors aren't very expensive anyway so the cost isn't such an issue, it's just that these two brands keep coming up when talking about rotors and I don't know if there's much of a difference between them (although I note most members here seem to go for the DBA 4000 series rotors)? Any advice is much appreciated! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38558-dba-vs-rda-slotted-rotors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car I had them on was never track driven, just my daily driver..
