Where to buy Rotors

Postby stew07gt » Fri Aug 31, 2012 12:16 pm

So this is semi going to be a question/semi going to be a rant.

Where can i actually buy the plain, aus made standard rotors to suit a GT that a few people on here speak about? That are cheaper than the slotted ones we dont really need for daily driving. Ive now inquired at two RDA stockists and 2 DBA stockists.

RDA apparantly has nothing in the country for our cars till the 28th of september and there will be a 6-8 week wait from there to get either slotted or gold ones and want to charge $260 for plain ones, $295 for slotted and $345 for gold. (pairs)

DBA is apparantly about to do some big order, has no stock of plain ones, only slotteds and wants to charge $390 for slotted (t2's) and $630 for "2650x" which i assume are the cross drilled ones.

These were supercheap and repco stores etc.

I had decided i didnt really need slotted ones and proceeded to try and find plain ones but no.... cant even get them.

So where do y'all get them from?

Otherwise ill be getting dixcel's from PHAT.

Www.brakesdirect.com.au

I just got a quote of from them:
Front and rear DBA T3 4000 series rotors to suit 08 Liberty GT

Fronts $206.25 ea Inc
Rears $198 ea Inc

I'm thinking of doing fronts only.

For RDA rotors, Get in touch with Trav at Street Sprint on Facebook or some of the other forums (Username HiPsi)

have you tried Garage 88.... you might spend a little more on Dixcels, but at lest your getting a much better product with a matching pad to suit.

Rears are DBA2657 to suit the Liberty handbrake.

Add 4 in front if you want 4000 series and S at the end if you want slotted.

Front rotors will fit as long as theyre 5 x 100 and not '05 on 5 x 114.3 pcd.

without putting the front rotors on the car itself how can i check the 5x100??

and i dont think the fronts are the 4000 series, on the box it just says street series??


EDIT
i can confirm they are NOT 4000s and they are REARS!!! with that same part # stated above...
**** i feel like a complete **** but i guess thats what i get for not looking lol :oops:

but now where can i find the part# for the fronts
thanks guys and sorry lol :angel:
