Hi all, was just wondering if anybody could help me out with some advice.

I need new front disc brakes for my bike but wanted to know if I should buy standard replacements or upgrade them? And if I upgrade can I get better brakes without having to pay alot more? Is it best to buy online or from dealers?

The bike is a 2004 (K4) GSX-R 600 and I live in the UK.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This should be in the motorcycle section.

But, :lol: you don't need upgraded brakes on an 04 GSX-R 600.
Those things stop on a dime.
 
The GSX-R 600 is probably .5 seconds slower than the Works bike around a track (with the same pro on it). It is also probably one of the closest machines to its track counterpart that one could by for everyday road use. :lol:

Upgrading the brakes on that would be like putting a bigger set of turbos on the Veyron! Just unnecessary.

I think just replacing them would do the job.
 
Thanks for the replies, I know that the brakes themselves are plenty good enough for track and road use but are there benifits aside from braking itself from wavey/petal discs in terms of wear and tear? Or is it just cosmetic?

Thanks for the links Lissa, in the first link - discs on offer at £408 :embarrassed:

All looks, look at MotoGP brakes, round as a pancake.
The only usefulness that they serve would be for motocross riding, where the waves would help remove mud from the caliper.
