Brakes direct quoted me almost $600 for the same stuff, I even rang back after I ordered to make sure they were the t3 clubspec rotors and he said yep definitely the t3s 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81737-new-brake-options-if-needed/page/4/#findComment-1293462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had have gone that combo. Cost me 400 for my pads + rotors, including postage from ebay for rotors and GSL for pads Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81737-new-brake-options-if-needed/page/4/#findComment-1293564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a stock line RDA Brakes doesn't have silver plated discs , we have just normal standard silver raw machined cast iron finish , not to say may-be some of our distributors don't plate . Gold plating resists surface rust where raw in a non wearing area will start to attract surface rust . Surface rust isn't issue in anyway other than some find it an eye sore . Our silver straight slotted range only come straight slotted But gold plated come curved and dimpled . Again main difference is cosmetic , one looks better than other . Both will perform same in 90% of cases ."
