Have been considering buying a set of new front rotors as I'm getting some shuddering through the steering wheel under braking.
Anyway checked Ebay today and spotted a set of RDA slotted/dimpled Zinc coated rotors on clearance for $99. Snapped them up quick smart :) Normally these go for $350 or something.
I'm expecting these gold ones to not suffer from the rusting issues of the regular RDA.
 
Similar to these ones but with four studs etc

Nice find! I just went on to look and you must have gotten the last pair.
 
Will be interesting to see if they are the gold zinc coated ones or not. Even the non-zinc dimpled and slotted ones are $150 or so via Gorilla Industries.

Yeah hopefully they are the correct ones. On their website they still have them listed for $99 if you wanna try and buy a set?

Pretty sure RDA Australia are stopping the distribution of these zinc coated ones hence the clearance not just for AW11 but all makes/models. They can't do the AW11 rears for $99 tho :(

Managed to score a set yesterday, also added the rear non-zinc dimpled and slotted to the order, so only $240 for dimpled and slotted all around is pretty good in my book.
 
They're showing product not found now, so maybe they only had two sets left? Here's hoping.
 
Also need to put in an order on amazon.com for a new knock sensor soon, so will grab some EBC redstuffs all around when I do it. Screw paying $250 for a set here when I can get both sets for around $160.
Tempted to do braided lines now while I'm at it. Still need to source some new wheel bearings first.

Good stuff. Congrats on getting them :)
 
A full set of Red stuff pads for $160 is awesome! Let me know when you buy them and I might get a set at the same time if it saves us both on postage?

Postage is next to nothing, I get them shipped to a friend in the states who forwards them for like $10.
 
It will be soon though (next few weeks) so I'll let you know when I'm doing it if you want a set too, once I have a confirmation on price.

No worries. That would be great if you could let me know.
