Bendix had 80% life binned them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinr33 Donating Members 964 Member For: 13y 4m 21d Posted 03/09/12 09:40 AM Share Posted 03/09/12 09:40 AM (edited) Yeah RDA rotors are good people say they are abit on the soft side asin wear out quickly first set I have owned seem fine I would pair them with either qfm or their own ebc pads as I heard the Bendix chew them badly for under $200 with new caliper bolts I carnt complain fitted myself pretty easy I heard from other people that DBA went downhill recently with their move to manufacture them in china like year or so ago.
