Cheap rotors / discs

I've been shopping around for some new rotors for the back as i just did the brake upgrade to na8 calipers and brackets. New DBA rotors from Autobarn , Bursons etc are around $120 - $130 EACH. this seemed a little excessive to me given that MX5Parts in the UK sell rear rotors for about $55 a set. Even with freight, it still works out cheaper to get them from the UK, at around $200.

Was set to order them in from the UK until Fattima put me onto Just Brakes in Campbellfield (Vic). They sell RDA rotors for $50 EACH, less than half the cost of the DBA rotors from most other outlets.

RDA also do slotted and grooved sports rotors as well, again they seem to be about half the cost of DBA. Im sure they are available from other retailers ( i think i've seen them on eBay as well) but i got them here:

usual disclaimers apply - no association with either company, i haven't tested them yet, no idea how long they will last or perform etc etc. just passing on some info that might save youse some $$$$$ :D

Nothing wrong with RDA rotors - I've used them on other vehicles with no dramas at all.

Have bought 4 sets of slotted RDA rotors and Green Stuff pads from Just Brakes in the last few months. Great prices and very happy with the products as well.
