I know you’re talking about discs but beware of Armstrong pads. I’ve used their sintered versions in the past on another bike and they were simply awful in the wet. In fact they were dangerous, no bite at all.
Check the price on original Yamaha ones at AJ Suttons, I think they are less than £100 each.

The pricing structure is weird, brake discs for my bike , FZ1s,are £140 while discs for a FZn are less than £100.Same basic bike, one is half faired and one is naked, would have thought the discs were the same.

Least I hope so cause the discs I've just ordered just said Fz1, didn't specify whether is was naked or faired 🤔
Hi Dude,You could have a look at (ABE ) www.allbikeengineering.co.uk020 88589052. They do good work.Haven't bought discs from them but have had a couple of rear shocks rebuilt by them. They're very helpful over the phone as well.

Real brown trouser moment coming over Cymystwyth in the wet.

Real brown trouser moment coming over Cymystwyth in the wet.I will add "Gold Fren" to that list too. I bought some for my other bike and they are definitely the worst pads I have ever bought - brown trouser moment in wet or dry.
Very much depends on the wear pattern, but the recommendation is new discs new pads. Keep the old ones for next change when the disc will have worn a little.
