NO, but when I bought my Stealth wavy discs I was given a set of Armstong pads with them.
The pads were absolutely crap. I got rid of them asap as I might as well have been using pieces of wood in the calipers. No feel, no power and when they did warm up they faded. The worst pads I have ever used.
The Stealth discs are spot on - they work fantastically well.

Re: Your choice and experiences with front brake discs...
I'd braking waveys on my road-bike and standard on my track bike and if I'm honest, I couldn't tell the difference. I'm looking at some light-weight discs for the CBR to compliment the new wheels (if they ever arrive...) and was looking at AP Racing and PFM.

Re: Your choice and experiences with front brake discs...
if you buy cheap aftermarket / budget discs, dont expect to get an amazing result.
"pay peanuts & you'll get banana skins!" is what my mate always says - ha, ha!
spend the money & get something good, at least that way, you know you're going to stop.
never skimp on whats important or you'll end up paying for it in 1 way or another.
i will only run genuine discs - yeah, they're loads of money but i know they will always work.
i have had ebc's & AP discs on previous bikes over the years & have always been pleased but then again, my brakes are never standard.

yup :-)Anyone experiences with the Armstrong discs on their NC30/NC35 ??
can vouch for them too- look good, no rust (so far) and good stopping power.
steer clear of armstrong pads though.

How much is a pair of front discs from Stealth? Their website doesn't say much.

Re: Your choice and experiences with front brake discs...
Yeah I saw that offer, wondered if just a pair of fronts would be much less.

Re: Your choice and experiences with front brake discs...
Think I paid £180 for my fronts and I collected them.
The £200 deal is a good call I reckon if you need to get a full set...am tempted for my YZF as I have almost decided to keep it and make a road bike out of it...
