Any recommendations on front discs and/or supplier in the UK?

Think I've got to the bottom of an issue I was having and looks like I'm needing discs.

Cheers

We run EBC prolite's on all out 14's they are better quality than standard and have so far lasted twice as long (30k miles)without any problems with 1000's of more miles to go yet  :cheers:

El-cheapeo 'zone' discs for me, they worked better after left in the garage to weather for a few years but now stop fine & don't appear to wear much.

Cheers. I'll have a look online tonight.

Hopefully I won't need to sell a kidney to fund them.

That's them and look at total price some will be cheaper untill postage is added so down to you and go for a retailer who's in this country rather than the other side of the world 🤔

I concur with @seth purchase from your region
My wave discs are S2 out of Melbourne braking performance is much better combined with braided lines & softer pads 👍👍
I ended up changing rear to wave to keep some symmetry 😁

I didnt know I had EBC's on the front untill a couple of weeks ago...🤣
Are spec savers doing any deals at the minute?

I messaged to ask if they were in stock and if these were the correct part as after googling the part No in the advert (MD3083) everything came up as a rear disc 🤔
No response but the ad now says out of stock 🤷🏼‍♂️

Demon Tweeks has them for £119 just now tho

If you have EBC disks DO NOT try to spin the bobbins, they sit in a square hole so will not spin.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

New discs came today 😊

Hadn't ordered new pads tho as the ones on the bike have probably only done 500mls, just read the packaging on the discs and it says new pads are a MUST with new discs 😪

Need to wait another few days before I can fit them then.

If only 500 miles on pads then, providing the old discs hadn't chewed them up in any way, I'd simply reuse them
Question everything

Look OK??

Personally, I'd use those.  They may take a few miles to bed in, but so do new pads.

Perfect 👌

Just good to hear someone else say the same thing. I'll get them all fitted then
