I've gotta get new discs for the white car (fronts are stuffed)

I'm getting DBA Slotted rotors, but I haven't an idea for pads.

How long have you had them? Actually, tell us how many km's you get out of the rotors. Many people have discovered that the EBC pads will chew through their rotors. Infact, DBA have acknowledged this.

I have heard that also. I think even Anthony from Philcom will agree also

ive done about 8000ks on them, which included the big abuse from brake tests. I've also heard that ebc pads chew rotors but i think thats refering to the green/red/black stuff bads which are much more abrasive

el3ment Yes I do agree that the EBC will chew the DBA discs, but what's worse is that they will have a higher probability to being cracked during prolonged hard driving. I have seen too many DBA discs, especially Xdrilled ones cracked on Evo, WRX and Skyline.

RDA are made of a stronger material and in fact they have been nominated by EBC to be the best disc to use with their pads. Now that's a vote of confidence.

We do RDA and EBC packages. just email me. But Greenstuff and slotted rotors would be our recommendation.

I can get the rotors through work, and for only $9 more than what I got quoted for stock elsewhere.

I'm not getting Xdrilled, so I shouldn't have the problem of the cracking, so I'll try the pads Sogg's got. (Mine to being a first gen, but it doesn't go as fast. Yet.)
