Pagid discs and pads on the rear of mine.

£60 all in.
Plua they have a coating on them that comes off on braking surface but stays on rim and hub of disc so no painting etc to get rid of rusty looking brakes :happy2:

Cant go wrong with these.

I had grooved disks with these pads and super blue fluid and never had fade, even when on track
