Depends what you're using the car for. RDA and DBA Street series are very similar, both made OS, both just designed as a trade replacement item.

DBA 4000 Series is made in Aus, and has added features like thermal stability profiling and thermal marking paint, handy if you're doing track work and want to monitor your brake temps.

As for pads, the range out there is huge. We do about 15 different of pads, from basic trade servicing items (like RDA, Protex, Horsepower) to performance street pads (like Remsa, TRW, QFM, EBC, Acre), right up to the V8 Supercar control pads, and in particular, the brand that has started dominating motorsport worldwide, Project Mu.

If dust isn't a major concern, then for aggressive street driving, I'd recommend a European performance street pad called Remsa, which is good for 650 degrees (or 100 degrees higher than QFM HPX or Bendix Ultimate), and low rotor wear with great cold bite. Remsa is what we supply as a trade servicing pad to high end European workshops (like Ferrari, Porsche etc.)

Or if dust is of concern, then I'd go QFM HPX.
