    I’ve got them on the front of my truck together with EBC 6000 Greenstuff pads. Compared to OEM rotors & pads ..... chalk & cheese. Pads are not cheap though.

    I have the same setup as Cuppa, and am very happy with the improvement over stock. RDA dimpled and slotted rotors and the EBC 6000 Greenstuff pads.

    I was told by the brake guys that the EBC Greenstuff pads are basically the same as the Black pads that TD went with too.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

    Thank you all for the info. Getting a set of the RDA's and will initially run Bendix pads as I have a new set in the shed.

    Next step, off to read how to do the swap and most likely watch some youtube vids on it..
    Seemed like a good idea at the time

    RDA's delivered this week from Performance Car Parts Online - good mob and easy to deal with $165 plus $25 freight.

    Quoted cost from the Mechanic was over $200 per rotor - Went and had a chat with my mechanic to let him know the cost and he near fell of his perch. Needless to say he has asked for a copy of my receipt so he can go wave it under the nose of his supplier to give them a wake up. I know my mechanic does not mark up his stuff much and he has always looked after me, one of the good ones.

    Again a big thanks to all for the assistance and knowledge.

    Thanks for that Cuppa. I am thinking of upgrading to braided lines to remove some of the soft pedal we spoke about. Be great to get some feedback if it makes much difference.
