    Brake Discs & Pads (F&R) Suppliers?

    I seem to recall pagid and mintex are owned by the same company. I use pagids and brembo hc and find them both ok. I get whichever is cheapest. As well as Road Track Race, try Kam racing as they are cheap at the moment of pagid front discs.

    If you are bothered by rust make sure you paint the bell before fitting if you go with brembo HC.

    I use some five pipe pliers wrapped in tape to push the pistons back in on the front. I do it with the old pads.

    Dale's Glacier White 200 cup

    Not sure I would trust them with the wild bhp claims. I would expect the system to be lighter than OEM, but so will the other aftermarket options.

    The Akra is not titanium and I would question the weight saving mentioned above.
