just out of interest, is there weight saving with these?

Can't use anything but standard discs for racing in Aus.

not sure how they compare to stock vfr discs, but ive got EBC prolite race discs on my zxr, and they weigh more than OE discs ! :o they work well enough, but turn orange at the slightest hint of moisture/rain/etc and the clinking annoys me (fully floating)

I have EBC prolites on the CBR mate and they are far better than standard IMO coupled with rebuilt calipers and decent pads that is.

Agreed, the prolites are heavier than OEM items... :o

But they do work well, feel much nicer than the slightly warped OEM's I had anyway lol

PFM or OE I would go for. Although I'm sure the tyga ones will be good but not had any experiance with them.

the stealth ones that cost £300 for a full set - front pair and a rear with pads are pretty good.
I have a set on my VFR although now I have fitted the Ducati front can't use the front discs. I never had any problems with them - they didn't warp or over heat, fitted straight on without hassle and the people who sell them - in the back of MCN were very helpful.
I used them on one track day on camp and a small amount of riding around the cornish twisties which they coped with without a glitch!
I would definately buy them again - and might do if they do a fitment for Duc 749's.
