Replacement brake discs

[alex_rsa]

I need a full complement of discs to get through my MOT (they are thin).

There seems to be some alternatives besides the BMW ones. Demon Tweeks have 2 kinds of Brembo and Grimeca. James Sherlock has Hekkane and Steptoe sells (rear only?) discs. There are also EBC discs but I have not heard anything good about them.

The Hekkane discs are about 40% cheaper than the other brands.

I have managed 30000 miles on the original BMW disks (the back is very worn at about 2.6mm) so long lasting would be ideal.

What do people recommend?

Thanks

Sherlocks are a reliable supplier and I would be happy to buy front discs from them if required.

I've got a set of EBC discs and pads for the front, maybe the rear too, that I no longer need, as I got shot of the GS before fitting them.

I would certainly be happy to sell them on at a bargain price.

I live in Harrow but work in Canary Wharf. Quite heavy to post?

Let me know if you're interested and I will a) Dig out exactly what I have in the garage and b) Give you an idea of price so we can start negotiations.

got a rear from James Sherlock (hekkane), easy job and has been fine since, previous disc warped by sticking caliper, needs a strip down yearly IMO

PFM do top quality gear and have a 1200GS front in the range, this kit is as good as anything out there and at reasonable money.
