G'day fellas
ive been shopping around for some brake parts for my EBII fairmont 4.0l and have found some interesting discrepancies i have been quoted: Hightek Brakes RDA slotted rotors $71.50 each (fronts) Bendix Ultimates $88 a set (fronts) Greenstuff pads $110 a set (fronts) Compared to Repco parts DBA slotted rotors $148.99 each (fronts) Bendix "Heavy Duty" $87 a set (fronts) why are the discrepancies in price so large for pretty much the same product? has anyone had experience with RDA rotors? ive heard they are not as good as DBA? anyone know where else i can look to get good prices for brake components? Cheers Simon |

I have DBA slotted on the front with greenstuff pads, RDA slotted rear with axis pads (whatever hightek brakes have as their in house brand)
I only went with DBA due to their reputation. They are doing a great job. The RDA's on the rear are also doing very well, along with the pads front and rear. Very happy with my setup, for what it is.
