Simbo Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 so i have a gsxr 1000 k6 (you may have heard of those) and im looking to replace my front discs, price is an issue, ive seen Demon Tweaks selling EBC -top choice i know, but they allso sell viper, ive not heard of viper discs, any good? they are cheaper but only by about £30,,, and then theres the dreaded china makes, i have had these before on the R1 and had no problems but i didnt use for very long so dont know how they would have lasted, Any one have any advice on this other than buy the best you can afford? any secret suppliers i can look at?

BudgetBoy Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Don't scrimp on brakes end of,especially the fronts.. £30 more is a no brainer to me..pay it... Cheap pad's in rear caliper, but good stuff on the front. Thats my opinion anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascalon Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I went with Blackshadow for the ST4s and they are very good. Good price too. http://blackshadow-uk.co.uk/ A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbo Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 did you buy a diy kit or new discs of them? has anyone done the diy kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Find the money and buy OE Suzuki discs. EBC maybe as a last resort. Aftermarket brake anything is usually garbage unless you're going very upmarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porter_jamie Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 i have used the ebc aftermarket ones and i was not overly impressed to be honest. i would defo run brembo, or isr, or even better oem look up cms nl for oe costs http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/Brembo_Brake_Discs_for_Suzuki_Motorcycles.html oem is 185 euros each = 150 quid each which i don't think is the end of the world for brakes brembo aftermarkets = 329 a pair which is ok, but why not have oe ones?

srad34 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I prefer OEM, but my FatBlade came with a new set of EBC's, I am really impressed, feel pretty good and no issues on 2 trackdays and about 3k so far.... Just hate the 'petal' design bollocks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu22 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I run EBC pro-lites road and track and find them more than fine. Heard lots of good things about Bkackshadow as a budget alternative though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Put a set of Stealth Viper discs on a runabout a few years ago. No problems. Would think twice about putting cheap Chinese discs on a bike that may be required to brake from 170mph. Unless you want to test your presumably cheap Chinese leathers. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Go OE or go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu22 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 IMHO OEM Suzuki discs are pretty poor - when I tracked my old K6 750, the disc bobbins were a major weakness meaning they had to be changed out well before the disc itself was knackered. I'd certainly look elsewhere...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Go OE or go to A&E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blow_away Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I had Armstrong discs on my ZX6R track bike. Just as good as OE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I have EBC disks and HH pads on the front of the 3XV, and they could be described as 'violent' when used in anger. I'd recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
