Those which stop the bike are perfect.

I use EBC HH's on my ZXR250 but then, they're 2 pot calipers as opposed to 4 pots. You'd get plenty of replies from all the ZXR owners on the forum. Failing that, going stock won't do your bike any harm.

They look like a two pot caliper to me. It is rather obvious.

They are 4-pots, it is rather obvious if you look Razz

(2 pistons on either side)

EBC HH and Carbon Lorraine are good.

Pfft! Razz There's only two pots acting on each pad.

Even if they are four pot calipers (floating discs I suppose). Whistle

Semi-floating are pretty much standard on sportsbikes.

so the ebc hh's will fit then, because i kinda ordered them because i need them quite badly i think i literally have nothing on one side.

Thanks for replies, and also thanks mchaggis for worrying me for a few seconds Razz.
I didnt think i was that dumb considering i looked and could see 4 pistons.
