Need new breaks, what to get?
« on: 11 May 2004, 15:44 »
Hi my first post so go easy on me

I discovered the other day that there are cracks starting to form on my front disks. Its not to bad and the brakes are still very good. But they will need replacing.

What would be best within a reasonable price.
What new disks should i get and what brake pads work the best.

Are there any good conversions that would add to brake performance?

I have seen the black diamond disks that i like the look of. Are these disks black all the way through and do they offer good performance when used with the diamond pads

Can you please post any web site addresses where the stuff can be bought from.
