Nice work, how do the brakes feel with brand new rotors?

[WidebodyWoody]

Details?

I might want to do that, well mine will have to be the 5 studded ones, but still, NICE WORK

[typer]

Do you have part list (manufacter and part number).

Also prices and where you bought these parts.

Nice looking !! very nice.

greets, Birkir R!

[jeff]

where'd you get those king springs?? and the same question for the front and rear brace?

[redzone]

king springs are located on the gold coast here in queensland, basically just down the road from where the indy is held! and a forum member on here (grumbly) does the strut braces..

[airbats801]

looks good. Any idea what kg those springs are?

hey zaidja, nice work mate, did you clean off the protectant coating off the rotor with brakeclean??? if not you will get brake fade and slip, not 100% performance you should expect from new rotors,but they shouldve said that in the rotor box,
RDA make pretty good rotors

Thanks for the reply mate. I haven't been on here for a while. Pre-occupied with other stuff.

Well..... Dave has answered most of the questions so far. Thanks mate.

I bought the RDA Slotted rotors from Slacks Creek Brake and Clutch for anyone who lives on the South side of Brisbane. They had the rears but I had to wait 2 weeks to get the front rotors to come in from the UK. They apparently didn't have any in Australia at the time.

Front inserts are Monroe GAS Inserts from a Mitsubishi Scorpiion...The locking ring that comes with the replcement insert for the Scorpion is too small....You need the locking ring from a VN commodore to lock it in to place.... I bought these bits from repco...hope that helps anyone out there :beer

Thanks Rallidave...I followed as per the instructions that came in the box.
Big difference in the way the car pulls up to stop. :beer

Can you get the RDA rotors with the 5 stud offsets? For my Widey?

Also these are bascially a bolt on thing aren't they.

[rallidave]

woody, im checking now about the widebodies, will let you know,
we can get undrilled rotors for custom applications,
yes they are a slip on rotor
cheers :beer
