Don't go with a company called stealth, I did thinking it would be good ol' british steel. They were terrible.

Heard good things about black shadow or Galfer, brembo. Otherwise I would stick with OEM parts.


Original post changed as I got the names the wrong way around

I need some for my 1050. Looks like I'm going down the EBC road as the oem discs are shite. Trouble is at around £270 a pair it ain't cheap is it?

Looking around it seems its quite a common thing for the standards to warp.... And ye most im seeing are ranging from 250-350 which is a hell of alot of money just for 2 discs :S

How long ago was this? I have read nothing but good things recently. Guaranteed for example, owner travelling many miles to exchange in person.

Its worth talking to them at least to see what guarantee they offer.

When you get your discs...dont buy cheap pads as they will warp the new discs quickly..

Sorry I got that the wrong way around, stealth are the company based in sheffield to stay away from. I'll edit my original post.

Ebay and proper breakers are worth a call, I got a set of virtually brand new discs for my Gixxer for £50, the seller had changed to wavy discs and was selling the originals to try and cover the cost.
