*CLOSED* EBC Pads & RDA Rotors

[Dummer]

Redstuff rears aren't in the country daveee. My local RDA stockist checked it out and they reckon it'd have to be a special order from overseas and take 5-6 weeks to come in by sea freight with RDA's normal shipments...

Currently I'm checking out maybe just sourcing them directly from the US kater this year when I buy them, although I think RDA are from the UK so might look for a UK stockist.

Also I've noticed RDA grooved and dimpled rotors cost about $560 here but i've seen them for less than $200US for EBC ones (I'm guessing RDA rotors are EBC rotors). So I cant see postage adding up past this given my extractors only cost $100US in shipping Be interesting to see what prices ofey can get off RDA directly though....

[dumb&]

Yeah I'm not sure. They are packaged under RDA generally so some of them might be made here but you never know.

$200US is fairly good, even if it is $100 for shipping that is still only $360AUD if you get them @ 80cents conversion rate.

Just gotta make sure the US rotors will fit our cars as they may be different for their markets. If they are $560 here from your local place I dare say we aren't going to get them that much cheaper unless that price is for fitting them too.

Can anyone else confirm part no.s like the way:

With EBC green stuff I had a quick look and found ( make sure before buying!! )- for 2008-2009 CJ

Front pads for everything from ES to Ralliart are:
Part Number DP21614

Rear pads for ES / Ralliart ( not sure about VR )
Part Number DP21563

Rear pads for VRX
Part Number DP21407

Slotted rotors from the above in slotted and dimpled are:
Fronts to suit ES ( again not sure if VR )
Part number GD7379

Front to suit VRX
Part number GD7380

Thats what I found quickly. Perhaps someone could triple check.

Anyone know the numbers for the Red Stuff?
And as for Ryan_C, do you know your rotors part numbers?

[ofey]

Just got off the phone with the RDA guy. *finally*
Sounds like a pretty amiable kind of guy who respects what we're trying to achieve.

Alot of the part numbers Mr ©harisma gave though, he needed to check so all he could give me were his possible price for the brake pads first:

Front pads for everything from ES to Ralliart are:

Green Stuff : Part Number DP21614 = A$140
RRP = A$180-190
Red Stuff : Part Number DP31614 = A$155
RRP= $215-220

I'm out of the loop on such things, can someone confirm if this is a good price?

[dumb&]

Red stuff pads can be had for $90-$100USD. Haven't investigated getting from the UK as of yet, I'd imagine around the 40-50UKP. Shipping from the UK is generally a lot cheaper than from the US.

Will have a dig around now.

Edit: 50 pounds for red stuff DP31614C which are for the 2009 Galant/Lancer/Fortis/whateveryouwanttocallit

Slightly cheaper than getting from the US. Postage I'm guessing 10-20pounds for a set. So roughly $120-140AUD. See if you can get the RDA guys to sharpen their pencil a bit more ofey!

[Dummer]

Red Stuff : Part Number DP31614 = A$155
RRP= $215-220

I'm out of the loop on such things, can someone confirm if this is a good price?

I can pick them up in Wollongong for $175 and I haven't even tried to talk them into a bundled price for rotors and pads.

So for the effort of you picking them up and then adding on shipping for us its still going to cost $165-170 posted interstate.

Maybe see if you can get $145 for pickup or $155 door-to-door for interstate members?? I think if my local place can take a cut off the top and pay for shipping, then RDA directly should be able to do us a pricing structure like that.

Money is a bit tight at the moment so I'm into 100% in on this, will try and juggle some of my shares (all these damn capital raisings from companies were too tempting ) around though to get in on this if its a good buy.

[dumb&]

Prices on the EBC Slotted Dimpled Rotors GD7380 is 103 pounds.

So

$100~ for pads
$200~ for rotors

Lets say $100 for shipping. $400 for new rotors + pads.

At that sort of cost you can bring in 2 sets of each at under $1000AUD.

Slightly cheaper to go through the UK so long as this place is willing to ship internationally (their contact form on the website has a country field which is probably good news) - this without any negotiation on our part yet.

[Dummer]

Make that $500 though for F&R pads and F rotors (I really dont see the point in going for rear slotted rotors apart from cosmetic reasons)...

That sounds like the way to go though!!

[dumb&]

Yeah I wouldn't touch the rear rotors at all, not worth it unless you were at the track every second weekend.

I can't find any info on red stuffs for the rear of a VRX. Found ES/VR/Ralliart on a US website, but searching the part numbers doesn't bring up anything on the UK website. They are roughly $20USD cheaper, so maybe 10 pound cheaper in the UK making it around $480AUD.

[Dummer]

These are the part numbers I got off the EBC site on the weekend (for a USDM GTS):

EBC Red Stuff Pads:
DP31614C Front
DP31407C Rear

EBC Grooved and Dimpled Rotors:
GD7380 Front

[dumb&]

Doesn't exist on either UK or US websites I'm looking at for prices.

[Dummer]

hmmmm have to email them for a price. Through google i found a few US ones that sell it for about $85US but they don't ship outside of the US by the looks.

[dumb&]

Yeah well hopefully I get a reply from this UK site in the coming days. I'll ask them about rear pads when/if they reply.

[b3n87]

dont wana spoil things but not sure if they will ship em overseas because of warranty like on the US Eibach pro kit...... just a thought

[dumb&]

They will ship them, we just wont have a warranty in Australia.

EBC Australia definitely wont honour it (already checked into it, they need proof it was purchased in Aus...there are ways around this though).
