Yep, Thundercat, Thunderace and carbed R6s and R1s share the same discs, blue spot calipers and pads. Fork lowers are all the same too.

I think the calipers differ slightly - Blue spots come with either 32 or 34mm pistons (I think) the heavier bikes have a 34 / 34mm setup lighter bikes use 32 / 34mm

I've never delved that far into the blue spots. I've owned cats, Aces and carbed R6s and R1s, all were interchangable with no noticable difference in braking performance :mrgreen:

The calipers are all interchangeable, but the R1 and R6 calipers are 'better' as they don't have the link pipe between the caliper halves like the Thundercat and Thunderace :)
