Title: Brake discs and pads
Post by: Nickyboy on April 10, 2010, 08:37:08 pm

So i'm needing new discs and pads soon, any recommendations for OE quality? I ran Mintex discs on the CTR which were as good as Honda ones.

For pads I will most likely choose DS2500s. I know about the legality issues. Again, are there cheaper alternatives without sacrificing quality?

Cheers guys  :notworthy:
