Got them today for the phoon, direct replacement rotors (same size as standard), and redstuff pads. Interested to see anyone elses opinion if they've used them before.

I know most swear by DBA, but can there be much difference in the two performance wise? I bought my car with RDA, I dunno how long they been on there but they were warped within 6 months of my purchase of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBA don't warp (well if they do, they take a lot longer!) whereas RDA do... I would go DBA. Tried rda once and not impressed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking on rotor wear and brake dust... But they will stop in a hurry if you need them too!I run ebc greens and 4000 series DBA's and I'm on my 3rd of pads on these rotorspads don't last as you said but the rotors are lasting well(I get them machined at each pad change). They do get a bit of warpagebut they are stopping A heavy car, dust doesn't seem too be a huge issue but my wheelsare fairly open so I think fair bit of dust get drawn out through the wheels.FWIW I have heard from a couple if sources that EBC reds aren't too flash on the street because of the heat the need to work correctly. I ran them on my downhill bike and they where hopeless when cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
