At work we are now proudly supported by RDA rotors, which means that while I'm at work I'm staunch advocate of their product. On my gemini I run DBA rotors, on the BMW I use DBA sourced brembo rotors, on the commodore I run DBA rotors and will soon be fitting a brake upgrade using DBA rotors. If I had to go and buy some rotors at the shop tomorrow, I'd refuse any rotor that wasn't made by DBA.

Ive used RDA rotors and never had any problems with them unlike some other well known brand that ive had nothing but problems with.
My brother uses RDA slotted rotors on the 1200 ute and they seem to work fine with the Pagids.
I run OE Brembo's on the Fiat that have been slotted by RDA, they work extremely well. Then again I can not fairly compare as I have not used DBA's.

What does it cost to get a pair of rotors slotted by RDA? And where would i send it/take it?
From memory they were ~$70 a piece. It was justifiable for me as the Fiat rotors only cost me ~$40, be a different story if your rotors cost $100+ stock and then you needed them slotted.
My Fiat guy organised it all for me so not sure how he went about it. Just give RDA a call.

I think they charge $25 each for slotting.The last s13 ones were $100 plain or $125 slotted.
As Guido has said previously the RDA rotors on my 1200 have been fantastic. The guy who sourced them for me recommended them over the DBA product due to the slots being cut differently from memory. I had no reason to question him as he has never steered Guido or myself wrong before.
