Blimey! 10.5K!!
Can't go wrong with Brembo Sintered but they are not cheap.

Brembo recommend CC compound but I have the SA compound on my R11 and they are excellent.
Others will be along in a minute to recommend EBC, etc.

i went with brembo replacements on my 12S, very good as always.
went for EBC sintered on my RT, very bad. well ok i guess, just not as good as the stock brembos that came off, but they do the job.

Got EBC from Motorworks - weren't the dearest ones but recommended by Darren

Bought EBC as replacements for my R12S, not as good as what was on it already, which I think was Brembo. They're not terrible but just not as strong and less feel. Doesn't help that my discs need replaced as well. So need to do the lot next time round.
