REZO Brake Discs

[stutrump]

Hi folks. I'm still trying to source some 'reasonably priced' front brake discs.
These REZO ones seem a fair price and are in UK. Just wondering if any of you have tried them??

They are the exact same as 'M-Factory' units that I bought and installed on my 2012 S10 about 2 years ago. They worked great, have almost the identical markings as the Galfer units.
Make sure you replace the pads as well, you probably know that already. Why are you changing them, wear issue or something else? Mine were warped as the pistons were not pushing the pads out evenly (bad seals) and then caused hot spots to warp the disc.

Thanks dogdaze. Mine have done 108,000 miles and are thin. Pulsing at brake lever etc

 

[Dogdaze]

Be really careful when pushing the pistons back in (again, something you probably know), make sure you clean the exposed pistons with cleaner and toothbrush before pushing in for new pads, as debris getting caught will ruin the seals.

Cheers Dogdaze. Always good to be reminded!

And open the caliper bleeder screw when pushing the pistent back in . Never push the old fluid back into the system , especially with A,B,S it may coast $$ .

??? Why, what will/can be defective?
(well might be the ABS unit, because it the only differende )

 

[Jeff Milleman]

Pushing the old fluid from the caliper back into the system may get contaminates in the A.B.S unit or master cylinder and it can malfunction. Ive have seen this happen to many times on cars and trucks and/or after installing new pads and rotors as they pump the brake peddle they push it farther then its been traveling and it screws up the rubber inside the master ... I here GGGGG why cant I get a good brake peddle !!!

Seems like the EBCs are less expensive than the Rezos

True, at least in UK, also the Rezo are the closest to the look of the Galfer units.

Ok, I missed that the Rezo price was for a pair. That is a good buy then.

These look very OEM, even cheaper than the Rezo and set includes a rear disc as well.

From China, but I would not be terribly surprised if Yamaha sources many parts, if not brakes, from China anyway.

Thanks SilverBeullet. I had spotted those but I'm probably going to go with the Rezo ones. I have total faith in China (I lived there for 10 years) but the Rezo ones are being sold fairly near to me so if there are any issues it will be easier to resolve. Will let you all know how I get on. Cheers

Just fitted the Rezo brake discs. Haven't done any miles on them yet but quality and fit seem very good.

I'll let you know.
If anyone is interested..they were £160 for the pair

I was surprised when I read the eBay description and it said "May not ship to the US", which kind of implies that there's some sort of legal prohibition in place. I wonder why they can't be sent here?
