Yes Troy, welcome to AU land.
 I admit that before I bought Lucifa I thought they were bloody ugly but, they grew on me.

not much has happened with the ed lately..
been busy doing a few bits and pieces to narelles au, taking bits off my old ea so i can send it to scrap and make room for the eb ghia turd which has just run out of rego..those who have seen the eb know why its not getting rego again.. as no panels are salvagable due to huge hail dents its got a blown head gasket and possible cracked head, in the 5 months ive had it ive loaded it up with 2 bottles of chemi weld to stop water getting in the cylinders.ive ceased/hydraulic locked the engine due to over heating, so just for kicks ive side swiped our gate driven it through a bush and ran it into the concrete steps..lol and i thought why not smoke the tyres up aswell.. after all that i sat on the rev limiter in neutral untill my neighbour came out with the s**t and it still runs... thats my story for the day.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egiA4sRoNR4 |

Drain all the oil out THEN sit it on the rev limiter to see how long it takes to die.... would be an interesting excercise.....

finally back to modding the ed...lol
due to the faster acceleration of the supercharger , well it also needs to stop faster!!! after the last few months of the ocassional brake cooking has warped the factory discs to the point of a bad steering vibration at slow braking conditions even when cold! so considering im driving it to bathurst on saturday, i purchased a set of cheap rda slotted rotors and new pads.. i was going to get a set of dba,s but @ $120 more than the rda,s and i would have had to wait about 5 days as the spare parts suppliers had none in stock.. so ill give the rda,s a go.....

They are the rotors I have on my car Troy. They do the job well. Depending on how hard you brake, and what pads your using,m you shouldnt have many issues with them, but give them time to bed in.

What pads you running with those Troyman? I was looking at the RDA's for my EF, thought they might be a better alternative to the dba's price-wise like you said, havent heard anything about the RDA rotors so far
