Hi Guys

Im need to get some new disc's and pads. I have called a couple of places for prices and have gotten the following

RDA Disc V - $83.50
DBA 4000 V/S - $250

Is it really worth the extra money for the DBA ones?

I assume from those prices the RDA are standard rotors & the DBA are slotted?

Sorry forgot to put that in. Yes the DBA are slotted

Slotted rotors are going to look sportier if that's what you're after. They might even help you slow down a tad quicker? I had DBA slotted & x-drilled on my last car (AE111 Levin) & was pretty happy with them.
If you're going to go for the standard type then I would price genuine first. Aftermarket rotors aren't made to anywhere near the same quality as OE & warp very easily especially on larger vehicles.
