Which Wavy Discs?

[DarrenSV650S]

I need some new front discs. I was going to get OEM, but why not bling it up and get some wavy discs :smt039

I have no idea what makes are good or bad. Can anyone recommend a make?

I'd recommend going for a well known brand such as EBC or Armstrong etc etc. I'm sure I've heard horror stories about cheap blingy discs.

I've got a set of Braking Wavy Discs on my SV Thou - they work a treat & look great too ! :cool:

I went for Galfers on my double R and I had no problems with them. Just a bit more than the OEM discs to replace.

I've got Braking ones on my SV and on my XR650 and I like them. Strangely I put a pair on my GSXR track bike and started going through a set of pads a day, I kid you not! I appreciate I was using Ferodo racing pads in Brembo calipers on the GSXR where I use EBC on the SV so it might just be a case of making sure you match pad to disc.

Where did you guys get the Braking Wavy Discs?

I bought mine as set (front & rear) from Bandit & SV Mania.

If you are on a tight budget then these will take some beating!

Personally I'm not a "bling" person and went for boring plain round ones from Stealth and I'm very pleased with them. I've only done 1k or so miles on them so far, but this did include an Oulton Park track day. The only down side is they are made to order and you will have to wait a few weeks for them to arrive. Worth the wait I thought.

EBC or Armstrong discs but what pads are best as im interested in upgrading my discs and pads.

[fastdruid]

If you go with EBC disks go with the pads to match.

I like EBC HH with standard sv brakes.

edit:Infact might have some brand new packaged ones for sale as I've bought some gsxr calipers

[fastdruid]

I liked and disliked the EBC's on standard suzuki discs. Braking *was* ace but they took a while to warm up before they worked which contributed to two fallings off.

Only place I can find the Armstrong discs other eBay is this place. But it is like £125 for each front disc is that right? Turns into a slight expensive upgrade at £300 plus VAT plus pads. Hmmmm....

[DarrenSV650S]

I've got EBC sintered HH type pads


cbay I was thinking og getting those armstrong ones

[cbay]

I would love some upgraded brakes but think I will wait for 15k service and see what spannerman says about it all after nice service.

[DarrenSV650S]

Just ordered the armstrong discs. Hopefully get them next week sometime

[cbay]

Darren, where did you order yours from? How much?

You order new pads too?

[DarrenSV650S]

From jesters £259.95 including postage. I've already got new EBC pads waiting to be fitted

[cbay]

Just for fronts I take it. See I think I would want to do front and back if I was going to do it, lol

[DarrenSV650S]

Yeh just the front discs. My back disc still has quite a bit of life left in it, so there's not much point changing it. But I would prefer it was the same. It'll probably get done next winter

[steveg]

Out of interest what mileage did you get out of front discs ?

Cheers Steveg

[DarrenSV650S]

Haven't a clue. I got them second hand when I did the gsxr forks conversion
