the write ups are generally good on these discs:

i personally haven't tried them but from what i have heard they are pretty good.

basically all anyone on here will say is aviod chineese crap. so avoid .

apart from that its up to personal prefernce .

check ebay, yo ucan sometimes pick up a used disc thats practically new for hardly anything.

hope that helps

waveys are just for show i think. i dont think they add any extra braking performance.

both look okay though. its up to you what you want to go for really. hopefully someone on here will be able to give you some better advice than i can

I would definitely go OEM. Aftermarket stuff can sometimes look out of place, and tbh I think original looks best.

David Silvers sells mostly genuine Honda parts, and anything that isn't will be marked as such on the website. That one you linked to is a genuine Honda part, which is what I personally would buy.

The original discs with gold carriers looked so much better on my CBR than these EBC discs do

EDIT:
Just something else you should know; New brake discs will likely be coated in a thin film of oily residue, that stops them rusting whilst packaged / stored. Give them a good blasting with a can of brake cleaner before fitting them. Try to avoid getting oiling hands when taking them out the packaging, else you'll just put your oily hands on the clean discs again when fitting them.

Well, I didn't really specify, I just asked a garage to fit me new pads and discs, and that's what I got... On the plus side, EBC are a little cheaper than OEM.

Lots of people think they are great, but tbh, I don't like them. They look a bit naff, and I much prefer using standard Nissin pads. My discs are very slightly warped, and did that within the first 500 miles. The rear brakes pads only lasted a few thousand miles too.

They're not neccesarily bad, it's just that people hype them up to be great, when infact their only merit is they are "cheap".
