$400 for a set of discs is reasonably priced.

Before you blow your load on those, be aware that the chinks have been pumping out wavey discs in their thousands as of late, and they're not all up to scratch. Fine if they're $50 each, that you can probably afford to lose.

:shutup: Chink made? Hmmm time to do more resaearch I think, I'm off to google even more. Certainly not pissing 400 down the drain....

Aweseome quality. Kits come with new pads. I think you can send your disks away and they can re-use your carriers too.

Got them on front and rear.

:shutup: Chink made? Hmmm time to do more resaearch I think, I'm off to google even more. Certainly not pissing 400 down the drain....A lot of things are Chinese made these days, and plenty of the products are fine. It's not the country so much as the variable quality. The ones you get might be sweet, or they might be crap, the problem is you won't know till you've put some miles on them. If you buy Honda ones, they'll be just like all the other Honda ones.

Plenty of good examples of this... those little A115 powered pocket bikes... some the frames are shite, some they're not too bad... those little key ring video cameras, some are shite, some aren't too bad... we could go on and on, but you get the idea I'm sure.

The Chinese most definitely can make good product, but you won't know till you've paid out.


http://www.metalgear.com.au/I have one on the back of the RGV, and I've sold them to others who were quite happy with them... I'd buy them again.

The dollar is really good with the US presently - price up some of the name brand ones - Galfer EBC etc.

$375 NZD seems fair to me.
