Chinese products don't automatically mean poor quality in every case. Ask all those of us who have the Chinese made clutch and brake levers. Haven't tried the discs so I can't comment on them but just because they are made in China doesn't necessarily mean they are going to be rubbish.

Exactly, a lot of OEM parts are also made in China often in the same factories.

I've used a company off ebay called zone-products, they supply english made discs at about £160 apair. Raced and trackdayed on them 2 seasons now without any probs. They aren't stainless though so do get surface rust when stood a while. Use SBS race pads and they are excellent. On the subject of Chinese stuff I fitted some pazzo style levers last year and they have been spot on so far(done 3 race meetings and 2 trackdays in fast group with them)

Sounds about right for Suzuki OEM discs.
