Help needed please.

My discs are in need of changing and i'm being quoted silly money for new discs and pads.

What alternatives do i have?, ideally, i'd like to go to a seperate bell and disc so next time it'll be a lot cheaper.

Thanks

Steve.

we have switched most of our customers with this kit onto Pagid rs19 "yellow" due to the better padal feel/friction, but most importantly it is much more disc friendly than the prodrive spec (read Ferodo) compounds available from the dealers...........
mail me for info/prices,

I didn't know Ian had done this, they should do the job, don't get drilled though, just grooved will do nicely!!
