RA Brakes

[gslrallysport]

just a note : RDA dont make ralliart rear rotors

They do now, $99 each for standard, or $275 for a pair of slotted.

[whitenight]

been doing my brake upgrade what do you think ?

[aspir3]

is that the passenger side?

If so I think you have the wrong side disk on.

Hey Ken, the Black looks good, and the Ralliart Logo Sticker looks Great.
Well Done Mate.

Where did you get the Stickers and are they High Temp .... ?
Details please.

Note: I'm sure Troy is correct .... the Rotors may be fitted on the wrong sides.
IE: the Left & Right Hand Rotors need to be Swapped around.
The Slots in the Rotors are facing the Wrong Direction according to your Pics.

Just trying to help Ken.

apparently there is no wrong way to putting slotted rotors on i have googled this .its a personal choice of direction.

@sam apparrently they are high temp but who knows just going on what they said hopping the high temp paint might protect them a bit as well.

i have a fair few of these made up as well i have 12 left if you would like a set sam.

Ken the way you have the slots the water and dust will work its way to the centre of the discs. Also the slot does not break through the inside edge which will mean the dust will build up in the slots.

I would swap them around as it does not make logical sense to have them that way.

[whitenight]

yeh troy that does make sense i will change them around.

GDay Ken
The new brakes look great mate
From memory my slots run in two directions on the new generation DBA 4000/5000 series discs and are shorter slots interlaced.
So that doesn't really help you LOL.
Doesn't matter mate you learn heaps when you DIY that's the joy of modding your own ride
I like the black finish on the calipers and the Ralliart decals are a nice touch
Good on you mate enjoy your new brakes, they pull up really well I've found
If you have spare decals I would be interested in buying some so let me know mate, I will be away for a couple of weeks so I'll catch up soon.
Cheers Chris.

Ken leave the discs the way you have them.

I have spent 30 minutes reading different brake web sites and the say you are correct.

It does not make sense to me though.

A quote from Brembo. "Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are sold in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install the rotors on the side of the vehicle that results in the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake pads first."

The instructions in my DBA discs suggest the opposite Troy... I have mine the opposite to how you have them Ken!!

Were the part numbers labeled Left and Right??

Fitting DBA Slotted Rotors ?

However, the Rotors that Ken has fitted are RDA (Multi-Directional), not DBA as mentioned in the link above.

Installed my RA calipers last weekend.



Special thanks to Troy for the install and to Sam for the calipers and being patient with my questions.

Hey Ryan, what Brand or Design Type are those Rotors, I've never seen them before.

I know that DBA was going to release some new designs, but I haven't seen them yet.

Hey Ryan, what Brand or Design Type are those Rotors, Ive never seen them before. I know that DBA was going to release some new designs, but I havent seen them yet. Sam.

They are DBA 4000s. I got them through GSL. I realized they are a different design as well. Looks better in my opinion.

[SAM-24A]

Thanks Ryan,

So they must be the New Re-Designed 4000's that DBA said they were going to release.

Strangely, they are not listed on the DBA website.

Interesting Slot arrangement.

Sam.
