The gold series are made of different material to the other sh*t they make...I have the RDA golds and can't fault them... If you did some reading on here before purchase you may have found that info.

BRK Member 361 Member For: 12y 4m 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 20/02/13 07:43 AM Share Posted 20/02/13 07:43 AM RDA's on the wife's territory with EBC pads - warped in under 20K and the missus does actually drive like Grandma Duck - they have been milled and are back on the car. The factory units went 60K before they did the same with only half the pad gone. Very disappointed actually and it will be back to DBA next time. I don't get why this happens on these cars.

I reckon there is something wrong with your car or they weren't fitted correctly. I am going DBA next time though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
