not a thing bud,but i was lend to believe the pfm discs are a rebuild kit thats fully floating and more directed towards track use,my past record with discs isn't great so getting discs to last long is a must for me or i end up changing them with my oil changes... :oops:

this is true ,ebc and i don't have a good past record but the lastest ones are lasting longer ,mainly because the bike isn't getting used

i have a spare set of inners so i'll enquire about getting some pfm outters and made do some double hard barstewarts incase i warp another set of disc (read that as when i warp not if )

PFM used to be sold though Performance Products but I think you cna go direct now Rhory. I will have to look on Monday.

I hate EBC disks, they look cheap, are bloody heavy and warp in no time. Had a number of dealings with their so called brake disks. These are of course just my personal feelings :D

dude, i have read somewhere there is a bedding in process for disks to help temper the steel to help prevent warping and excessive wear.

i think you might be better giving this a try as a money saver.

or just get some carbon disks!! :D
