Where to get DBA rotors cheap?

**psychofox** · 26-10-2007, 08:16 AM

I suppose you get what you pay for....RDA are chinese blank rotors machined in Australia, whereas DBA are cast and machined here in Aus.

FWIW I just picked up a set of DBA 4000 rotors for my AWD Magna (shock horror) as DBA had discontinued the standard slotted. Nice 294X24mm 6X6 slotted rotors and I picked them up for $150 each as I had pre-paid for the standard slotted ones

^^^^ THATS THE BONUS OF HAVING A COMMON CAR!.....

ie BA falcon DBA slotted and drilled rotors were only $120 each (trade),

where as the RDA R33rotors in just slotted were $160each trade,

HI,
just though id throw it out there to clear this up....

i work for RDA as a manager in the bankstown warehouse, our rotors are MADE in china as well as dba and like dba the more un-popular ones are sorced through the likes of brembo and EBC in england.
both ours and dba slotted and cross-drilled programs are both made here in aus( ours in melbourne and dba in silerwater). DBA used to do their stuff here but now its just their sports programs....

now thats said and done, if people are chasing rotors etc please feel free to PM me or whatnot and ill try my best to chase it for you( as thats what i do for most of my day)...

cheers guys,
chris

Thank you for clearing up what I said that may have mislead anyone. My information was that the DBA "Kangaroo Paw" Rotors are cast and finished in Australia.
