I've been using Metal Gear in Brendale.
I have SV calipers but use metal gear on some of my other bikes as well.
They have organic and sintered.
I've purchased disks there as well. Easy pickup.

BJ, thanks for answer. My rear is Metal Gear rotor n pads, brilliant brake. Before these i fitted EBC pads, were terrible, noisy n no grip. Threw in rubbish after 300ks. Need new front pads, tossing up between Metal Gear at $80, Brembo Red at $150. Brembo get the great review, no one knows Metal Gear. I dont care about price, just want the best. Difficult choice, specially after rear came up so good, way better than OE Tokico pads. Its only $80, might give them a go on front.

@grog if available down under, can also recommend SBS Excel pads as an option, ran these on mine and was very happy with them.
