I was thinking RDA Rotors and Pedders (Akebono) pads - anyone have experience?
I was thinking RDA Rotors and Pedders (Akebono) pads - anyone have experience?
RDA and Bendix 4wd pads so far v good..little bit dusty but not too bad. Do not buy pads from Repco tho as they are 2x+ the Sparesbox price.🤤
I'm in the hunt again. Tried ordering TRW DTEC locally, learnt the hard way.
The last TRW I put on were standard and dusty with an occasional low speed squeak. Bite isn't great.
Which Pedders ceremic did you get? I see they do plain ceremic, Kevlar ceremic in track Ryder and sports euro? Any low speed noise at all.
I have RDA rotors on mine, great life. The DBA were equally as good
Pedders kevlar ceramic pads and their recommended discs, they are solid not slotted as I really don't go far off-road in mine. It is a d4 so my choices are a bit more limited, I was after Akebono, but at the time they weren't available for the front.
Regards
I've got the RDA Slotted & Dimpled rotors and the Akebono pads on my Range Rover Sport for nearly a year now. Excellent combination - much better than the OEM. The Akebono's are excellent. Since I have had them on, there is virtually no brake dust on the rims and the stopping power is excellent - really confidence inspiring. I'm really pleased with them.Quote:

Looking on the Advanced factors website, you could lash out and get the brembo 6 pot calipers and 380mm discs....youll only need 20 inch wheels as well.
Yum yum..nearly bought a RRS just for the brakes...wow..they were that good. Pity the rest of the car was rubbish tho😞Quote:

I just ordered a set of akebono from the states. For those thinking about Bosch euroline pads, the same shop. Rockauto is selling them on special for $25 aud fronts and $30 for rears. I added a set to my order while I was at it.
JC are they the Bosch pads you recommend?
Thanks for suggesting this store- it has good prices. I'm looking at getting new front brake pads for my D4. Did you get the Akebono EUR1479 front brake pads? Any issues?Quote:
