rosszx9r Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi,i need a new set of discs and pads for my zx9r and like the look of the fancy waivy EBC discs. they are a good price (~£100 per disc) but are they any good?i know EBC are popular but is it cos they are cheap? also, what pads are recomended for normal road use? i see the are a number of different grades, HH being quite common.thanks,Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade38 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ive got armstrong wavey discs on mine and they still look good, no rust or corrosion but hink they're slightly warped which has annoyed me, but ebc i've been led to belive are one of the best and thats not a bad price!

Stu Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 ive heard EBC are prone to warping not sure how true it is though whay not go for Galfer ? about £380 for front and rears with pads and they are top quality EBC's cheap pads green i think they call them are crap too soft with no feel and dont last long the HH are good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoody Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 i've got ebc sintered pads in mine, work well but make a funny hissing noise Hissing noise will be discs 'floating'. They are attached to the carrier with bobbins to allow some movement for better efficiency and reverbrate when pads are applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
