Title: Arashi Front disks
Post by: clayt74 on 01 October 2013, 10:07:01 am: has anyone had any real experience with Arashi disks?
I have a warped front disk from when i dropped it, and although its been ok for a few months of nice weather I am looking to replace them asap before the cold wet dark nights creep in.
I know you get waht you pay for but I cannot afford OEM's and these at £123 a pair inc p n p!!! from mad hornets seem great value?
a search for reviews seems to give that most people that have tried them think they are pretty dammed good?
any foccers got some first hand experience of these?

Also been told i need a rear, think i'll go Brembo for that.

With all due respect it's false economy buying very cheap new discs, you'll more than likely need a new set not far down the line.
If your budget is tight i would be more inclined to take a chance with a used pair of OEM discs, just make sure they are advertised as being straight rather than just sold as seen.
Otherwise try and hold out and save money for a decent make.
