Brake rotors, drums, shoes and brake pads to cater for all vehicles and driving styles
RDA Brakes has one of the largest brake rotor, drum, shoe and pad ranges of its kind. The range encompasses some 3000+ vehicle applications including brakes for Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ford, Holden, Hyundai, Mercedes Benz, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo and many more Australian, Japanese and European vehicles.
RDA Brakes also stock a large range of applications that were not directly released into the Australian and New Zealand market, but have found their way by way of private import. All products are sourced from the world’s best manufacturers, all tried and tested in Australia and New Zealand making sure that all RDA Brake products pass strict quality control systems.
RDA Brakes has a dedicated team sourcing new applications, making sure whenever a new vehicle is released, RDA will have that product available as soon as possible, as the calls for replacement parts are coming sooner with every release.
As markets become more import driven by manufacturers, it is worth remembering that whilst the vehicle may be new to Australia and New Zealand, it has been on the road elsewhere in the world already. Included in the RDA Brakes range offering RDA Brakes are the Australian and New Zealand distributor for EBC Brakes which are the largest brake pad manufacture in the UK, providing a complete range of brake components from standard vehicle applications, through to performance upgrades, as well as light commercial.
Brake Pads
RDA Brakes provides a three tier brake pad range, which has been manufactured using RDA’s GEN 3 compounds to suit the various driving styles and vehicle applications. Low metallic copper free, dense semi-metallic copper free and an advanced ceramic fibre compound. All three compounds are designed to reduce excessive brake dust commonly associated with OE R90 brake pads and all come with features and benefits you would find from OE.
GP Max Brake Pads are one of the most advanced general purpose brake pads on the market. With over 1,600+ applications available, GP MAX will deliver great stopping power, responsive pedal feel and long service life for general purpose applications. The GEN3 compound, combined with RDA’s noise reducing technology will meet or exceed other well known general purpose brands available in the market, temperatures ranging from cold to 450°C.
RDA Brakes Extreme Brake Pads are a heavy duty copper free, dense semi-metallic pad designed specifically for frequent or heavy duty braking. Available in over 1,200+ applications, RDA Brakes Extreme will deliver consistent pedal feel and long service life in temperatures ranging from cold to 600°C.
RDA’s Phantom Brake Pads are an advanced ceramic fibre pad, that suits everyday driving but has low fade at high temperatures for aggressive driving styles and on road performance vehicles and its low dust GEN3 ceramic braking material won’t disappoint. The Phantom has a responsive pedal from cold to 550°C.
Brake Rotors, Drums & Shoes
RDA Brakes Standard Brake Rotor range incorporates features that you would see from OEM manufactured rotors, with the standard replacement rotors finished with RDA’s GEN 3 Anti-Rust coating which increases surface rust resistance on non braking areas.
All RDA rotors are heat tempered to ensure longer life in the metal composition and structure and ground finish to enhance initial brake performance. The comprehensive range is not limited to recently released vehicles but also includes vehicles dating back to the 50’s, from A to Z RDA Brakes has you covered.
RDA Brakes also manufactures a full range of brake drums, from small passenger vehicles to light commercial. RDA’s brake drums also incorporate features that you would see from OEM manufactured drums like bearings and ABS Rings as standard.
The RDA Brake Shoe range has been specially formulated to ensure low noise, low dust and maximum stopping power. Every set of RDA bonded shoes are shrink wrapped to prevent damage in transit and individually boxed for ease of storage and retail presentation. RDA also carries a range of Banksia handbrake bands which contain the minor hardware for faster fitment.
Slotted & Dimpled Rotors
RDA Brakes Slotted & Dimpled Brake Rotor range are engineered to increase dissipation of water, dust and road grime from the contact area of your braking system and provide improved integrity of the pad and rotor surface through deglazing of the contact area.
Directional slotting surface also combats “out-gassing” caused by gas produced from the brake pad bonding agent forming a cushion between your pad and rotor and thereby reducing brake fade & increasing brake bite and pedal feel.
EBC Ultimax Brake Pads
EBC Ultimax are a high friction premium quality brake pad, approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulations and as such are an exact equivalent to original equipment pads fitted to your vehicle from the factory.
The EBC Ultimax will stop your vehicle as fast as any original equipment pad. One brilliant feature of EBC R90 pads is their ability to completely eliminate brake judder and these pads will actually COMPENSATE for mild brake judder after 300-400 miles of use. Nominal friction co-efficient 0.46 with minimal rotor damage and similar dust to original parts.
- Available for all makes and models of sedans, 4 wheel drives and light commercial vehicles
- A direct equivalent to OE brake pads
- Minimal dust
- Low rotor wear
- Improved brake response
- Suitable for daily driving
- Brake-In coating for accelerated pad bed in period
EBC Redstuff
The EBC Redstuff is the first step in performance within the EBC Braking range. A highly advanced ceramic fibre formulation is designed for fast street use in heavier performance Sedans/SUV. The EBC Redstuff is also designed for occasional light track use and stable from 0°C to 750°C. Recommended for use with RDA Brakes Slotted & Dimpled rotors.
- Mid-level street upgrade for significantly improved friction and fade resistance compared to OE
- Lowest dust formulation keeps wheels cleaner for longer
- Significant reductions in stopping distances compared to OE
- Brake-In™ coating for accelerated pad bed in period
- Perfect for fast street vehicles
Yellowstuff
EBC Yellowstuff is an aramid fibre based brake compound with high brake effect from cold and is possibly one of the first ever compounds that can be used for street and track driving. Recommended for use with RDA Brakes Slotted & Dimpled Rotors.
- Fastest brake pads for Street, Drift & Race
- Zero brake fade makes this material perfect for fastest driving
- Capable of repeated heavy brake use without brake “Fall-Off”
- Very minimal disc/rotor damage characteristics
- Suitable for shorter track events and race use
- Medium hardness material feels good at pedal
- ECE R 90 type approved for most cars
- Features red surface coating for instant safe braking after install
EBC Bluestuff
Fast street, trackday and shorter race race use high friction material that is R90 approved street legal due to excellent bite from cold. The wide aperture grooves provide better venting, while the surface is pre-scorched to reduce bed-in time although several steady laps or 100 miles street driving are always advised
before loading pads to maximum. Recommended for use with RDA Brakes Slotted & Dimpled rotors.
- Track material with highest cold friction of any EBC material
- Excellent wear life when operated at temperatures 150-1100
- Surface scorched to eliminate ‘green fade’ and reduce bed-in time
- EBC Bluestuff are fully R90 approved
- Developed for track use only
