Slotted rotors and brakes for Passat Wagon

[gslrallysport]

How are the RDAs compared to factory?

RDA rotors are equivalent to OEM. In a single piece rotor RDA is our preferred option in terms of quality and performance. Only if you wanted a 2 piece rotor would I worry about going to DBA.

I also saw DBAs in Super cheap autos for $125.

For slotted??? I'd be double checking that... At a rough guess, I'd say DBA slotted would be about double that, ie. $250 each.

How are they compared to RDAs?

As above, in a single piece rotor I prefer RDA over DBA. I've run RDA in both my road and rally cars for the last 4 years with no dramas. We'd sell 50 RDA rotors to every 1 DBA, and have never had a warranty claim on them. You've only got to search any skyline forum for '4000 series cracks' to find that DBA aren't all they're cracked up to be... no pun intended!

Do you know of any installers in Melb?

Unfortunately not mate. I was born there, but left at a VERY early age!

For low dust I am having a good run with Hawk Ceramics on my R32 mkV.

Greg, thanks.

I got my H&R suspension from Milan at TCCA Motorsport in Sydney and had it fitted at Trutrack in North Melbourne. See photos at www.photobucket.com/rf4motion

Nice height and wheels. How's the ride on the 19inch. I'm considering 18inch wheels. Are yours wheels the original audi RS4 wheels? Saw some chinese made ones for $900. Not sure of the quality though. Where did you get yours?

I want to maintain a comfy ride and not scrap the bottom of the car. I had one underbody cover ripped off on the way back to Melb from Adelaide.

LOL Based on what you said yourself, there should be no doubt!

Apparently the bulk of the wheels are made in Asia - China, Malaysia.
BBS cost about $2500

BBS $2500? For two rims only maybe...
