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.

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.

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.

Very good wavy discs at a great price £230 for a pair of fronts If people want these I will do 10% off discs and ferodo pads for grey bike members

ISR discs very very good but very pricey at over £200 per disc

Anyone experiences with the Armstrong discs on their NC30/NC35 ??
yup :-)

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.

I think a set of three is around £195.00

Yeah I saw that offer, wondered if just a pair of fronts would be much less.

I think the rears come in at around £49.00 so estimate it that way

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...
