Default Replaement Disc Rotors EF Fairmont Ghia 4.0

Hi Does anyone have any experience with RDA disc brake rotors and pads, are they any good compared to DBA products?



Cheers
Jim

I prefer DBA over RDA rotors, from my experience in the Taxis.
Never used either type of Pads.

Rotors are fine. Get yourself some good semi metallic pads like trw.

I had rct ceramic formula pads on my jetta. They left pad material on the disc to the point of shudder. And the rotors never cleaned up. As an experiment I changed to a trw pad and the same rotors cleaned up nicely but couldn't reverse the dtv. Now has a set of rda rotors with the trw pads. No more shudder, rotors are flat and clean. The repco pads are in the bin. I will stay away from ceramic pads.
