Guys,
I have my 3 disks that needs to be changed.
The OEM price is really crazy : 408 USD for a front disks and 265 for a rear one. That's almost 1000 USD only for the disks...
Did anyone tried alternative disks on the market?
Cheers
EBC or there are some Chinese disks that appear to be doing well.. Boomer has them I think. Maybe others.

:agree: Yep, George has them fitted :yes:
I am going to wait for them to give their inputs!!
Cheers
I have fitted Armstrong ones on the front after the Kawasaki ones warped at 8000m , now done 18000m on these with no problems , so can recomend them , the Chinese ones that people say are good are the arashi ones I think ,
Have Arashi disks on the front. Now 20k miles on them and they are as good as OEM disks they replaced.
I used Ferodo pads initially and they were not so good. Work well with EBC HH pads though.
Disks look like they may last at least as long as the OEMs which did 48k miles and were down to 4.1mm.
I'll buy them again.
Oh yeah, £130 delivered for both front disks.
Find them on Ebay.
Yep, Arashi are ok. 14k for me with no probs
It's discs , not disks ,,,,,,,,,,,, :mfr_lol:
Hello
Any difference between the gold and black version of the Arashi?
Is there a good rear disc? I feel that there are less option as those discs are specifics to ZZR & GTR..
Cheers
After 2 sets of OEM discs warped, I went the EBC route and have never looked back. Done about 40 000km's on them with some hard use thrown into the mix and they are still holding up brilliantly. Some good quality kit the EBC's are!! :smiley:

Nope, just colour difference.
GTR and ZZR front discs are the same.
Not sure about rear as mine is still the OEM is at 69k miles and nowhere near the wear limit.
Thanks
I am a heavy breaker from the back wheel.
I'll recheck the gage tonight in case I have mis read the caliper
I measured 5mm gage. From what I recall the service limit is a 5.5 right?

Hi guys
Any good alternative to the OEM rear disk?
I found it much harder to find that the front one
Thanks
EBC? You can't get Kawasaki?
Sorry
What I meant was that It's harder to find alternative to kawasaki one on the rear disc
WHere can i get the rear EBC discs?
Thanks
EBC. MD4160C Shouldn't be hard to get, they're HQ'd in England.
Thanks
From what I can see here, the EBC are roughly at the same level of price as the Kawasaki one..
Plenty on Ebay from £30 to £90.
May be it is because I am using ebay France that I am not seeing the one you are talking about? Any link you can send to compare? Thanks

I don't have the same results using ebay.fr
that's funny
Then us ebay.co.uk
You don't have to use the FR version.
I often order stuff from ebay.com and amazon.com
If the suppliers are in China they don't care where they ship to.
