Which discs?

wow i only asked! anyhow having read as much as poss on this and other sites , went out for a "bedding in session" this eve, braking progressively harder from 40, then 60 then quite a bit more the brakes felt ok but i got out for a look after a cool down period and there was smoke pouring off the fronts. on inspection the front discs are plain (non drilled grooved ) and the rears are drilled and grooved, both sets are in good condition with no lipping and the pads have heaps of meat left on them and appear to be blue on the edges, this session seems to have cleared the "pulsing pedal" i was initially concerned about, however coming from a race bike background i would have to go back to the late 70's to find a bike without drilled discs, so i'm gonna replace the front discs, pads, and fluid. i'm now thinking godspeed discs or equivalent, and bluestuff pads. let me know what you all think. and go easy on each other!

The bluestuff pads are quite a good pad , but for less money and better braking I would recommend the RC5+ pads , people do find the limits of bluestuff pads on the track , as yet no one has with the RC5+
And they are very good on the road , good from cold , atm they are my pad of choice for the harder driver and those doing track days , until something better comes out

Ian, read my post again and it will explian why i prefer plain discs for rc6.
Im not a parrot!
Then why when i said the caliper was boiling, you actually said yourself that you bleed the fluid out after every few laps at races?
Anyway cant be arsed with you, have better stuff to waste my time on.
It reminds me of lighweight pulleys vs oem pulleys. The calipers are crap for a hard driver. End of!
Zzzzzzzz
