One of my customers is EBC brakes, I am looking into setting up a site discount for their bike stuff.

They do all sorts for bikes, but mainly pads and discs.

They do some real good quality stuff too.

Just posting really to guage what the interest would be?

So if you would be interest, this is the place to reply!

Andy.

These are the green stuff people are they not? I have their pads in my car, and they are great!

The bits I would be interested in are (not sure if they do all of this):

Green Stuff Pads
Wavey Discs
Braided Hose Brake Lines.

What sort of deal do you reckon they will do for you?

[andysv1k]

They are the "green stuff" people, i just bought a set for my car too.

Not sure what they do for the SV, but i have seen wavey discs in the factory so they def do them.

Andy.

[andysv1k]

Not sure what deal i would get, the guy i need to speak to is on holiday till next week.

I think they are a global company and they are certainly in the US too so they are not limited to offering discount to just UK guys, so theoretically there is over a thousand potential customers here.

That sounds like good leverage for some haggling!!

Andy.

[Robbo]

i have seen wavey discs in the factory so they def do them.

Pukka they are some sexy stuff, I guess they would do them for a GSXR 750 which I believe is the same kiddy as ours!

[JeffSV]

Count me in esp. "wave rotors", and some more aggressive pads.

[complete]

Thats great Andy. At last service at 11000 miles i was told that i have about 3000 miles left in the brake pads. Id order a set, and give Brians excellent instructions a go for changing them myself.

Cheers mate.

Way to go Andy, by all means set us up. :niceone:
I installed the double HH compounds - #FA158-HH (x2) front and #FA174-HH rear. More linear braking than stock and easier on the rotors.

[andysv1k]

So thats 5 of us, another 1831 to go!

Andy.

[SV DAVE]

Rotors and pads please. :whistle: Mine will need to be replaced when the new front end is put on.

Wavey disks would be cool but I did not see them in there parts list for the SV. They do have some great SS and iron replacements listed. There HH pads when used with there rotors work great but the HH pads will eat up stock rotors. :weep:

Good stuff. I have used there products in the past. :Punk:

[AJS34]

Me too, always interested in money saving ventures :supsmiley

Cheers
Andy

[svvmax]

EBC make very good quality stuff, one thing i really like about the SV is the engine braking power but no doubt i will wear them out eventually.

Less dosh is always good

[rps_23]

I would also be interested in pads, wavey disks, and lines! :niceone:

If they don't make wavey disks for the SV yet, perhaps you could pursuade them to start. I'd be happy to take on a demo set for test purposes :whistle:

Dave, I've tried "softer" non-HH pads before and found the braking inferior.
Maybe the SV is different, I haven't tried other compounds on it. From my experiance nothing is harder on rotors than stock brake pads.

I haven't tried the HH pads on the SV but have on four other bikes. Great performance no doubt. The pads just seemed to wear the rotors much faster than the stock pads would. The feel and performance were greatly improved, I guess that is the price we pay.

If we can't get anything worked out here I will be going with SBK2 pads. They worked wonders on my R1. Better feel and stopping power with no noticeable change in rotor wear. Just touchy when wet.

Certainly not knocking anything EBC has on the market. It is top shelf stuff. This is just my past experience.

[Paul Scheid]

I would be interested in a set of HH's for the front to go with my new Goodridge lines...

[BJAM]

I want some and I want them now ( wavey rotors that is ) to go with my brake pads as discussed here: HH Pads (http://www.sv1000.zyns.com/forums/showpost.php?p=60922&postcount=1)

[MrHM]

I'd be after a set of pads some time in the near future. i know its good kit as I fitted a pair of prolites and HH pads after a bent the set on my TL after a spill. Serious stopping power (with standard brake lines) and a lovely zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise when you get on them hard!! :lol:

[tonyt]

I will be interested in a set of pads if they are better than the factory pads that I'm not that impressed with...
Cheers
Tony

[oldfart]

Well are you going to tell us the price intrested in rotors and pads ?

[andysv1k]

Ive already said i cant speak to the right guy until Monday, hes on holiday, i just wanted to get an idea of the interest so i can go to him with some solid info rather than just guessing that people will want the deal.

Andy.

[oomidamon]

I'd def go down the EBC route when my pads need changing. However, I need all four corners for my Ford Focus asap - any chance?!

[Skidz]

I would be interested in a set of HH's for the front to go with my new Goodridge lines...


Same for me please :)

[andyw]

Go for it Andy.....I've seen good reviews of EBC brake parts in the past, good kit.

Should be a lot of interest so EBC'll have to give us a big discount!!!

Im hoping that they will give us a blanket discount for the site members, regardless of what we order.

After all most of us have cars too!

Andy.

[andysv1k]

Ok, an update....

Nothing definate yet as i havnt managed to speak to the guy directly, but my contact has spoken to him about it and he said they do discounts for other groups etc so should be able to give us atleast 10%

Will hopefully be getting hold of him tomorow morning, so should be able to get something more definate then.

Andy.

[Andy.SP1]

I'm in too, always use EBC stuff, have Green Stuff on the car probably go for SBK2's on the SV, Falco won't need 'em as it never goes far enough to need brakes...... :pinch:

[andysv1k]

My mate is selling his falco, its only done about 1500 miles in two years.

But not because of faults, just cos he's a very scarce rider.

The only problem he had with his was a puncture.

Did you get the friday afternoon build on your bike then?

Andy.

[alansv]

had HH pads fitted on my last service, braking feels a lot sharper

I may consider some wavy disks :)

[MrHM]

Never thought of the car, I need pads and discs all round (£££££££) on a Vaux Omega in the next couple of months as well

[oldfart]

Can we get some prices or at least the % discount from the web prices Wavy rotors would be nice.

[andysv1k]

Im working on it!

Andy.

[andysv1k]

ok it moves on......

Ive spoke to the contact who runs their mail order and online site.

He is going to set up a coupon system so that we can log onto their site, type in the coupon and the discount will automatically be deducted from the bill, so you will be able to purchase anything from the site.

Now the discounts are not set yet, but expect to see around 5% on pads (more than that and they dont make money) and 10% on discs.

Plus for UK, there will be free P&P (this is very good and takes the real discounts up to i would imagine 10% and 15%)

For everyone else they will do a shipping deal and keep costs at rock bottom.

I am waiting for all this to be confirmed to me yet so dont go rushing off placing orders!

As soon as i get it in firm electronic type! i will conact admin to see what they want to do with it.

Also this is a STARTING discount, if there is a lot of interest, it can be looked at again.

Andy.

[Robbo]

Good Work! :supsmiley

[andysv1k]

Well, its set up.

Will be emailing info to Brian tonight to post up.

Will have a voucher system to buy anything from the site.

Discount at the moment is only 5% but UK gets free P&P
www.brakes4u.co.uk (http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/default.asp?PARTNER=sv1000)

And at the moment there is NO VAT!!
they are a new online company and are not vat registered yet so cannot charge it.

The site is run by an EBC employee so prices should be the best on the net anyway.

Oh is there any ACU members on here?

Andy.

[oomidamon]

Well done Andy, good effort! :first:

Keep meaning to do it myself, went to order just after it was set up and there was a prob with P&P cost, now sorted, just not got round to re-ordering, will do soon though.

Let me know what they are like wont you?

Andy.

[Robbo]

Have a look for David's (slyboy) report on them, do a search for EBC HH I think they are going to be the business! :D

I saw Davids report, that spurred me on a bit to pull my finger out and get some (although not quite enough as i still havnt done it yet!)

Andy.

[Robbo]

Just used these guys again for some performance discs and pads for the VX. This is a fantastic service and well worth using!

Also I have noticed that this is missing from the site discount section.

[andysv1k]

nice one Robbo.

One day i will order some.....one day!

i just obviously dont brake hard enough! :angry2:

Andy.

[andyw]

I see EBC do wave discs (wavey discs) now........too rich for me even with the 15% discount at www.brakes4u.co.uk (http://www.brakes4u.co.uk/default.asp?PARTNER=sv1000) but thought I'd mention it for those with larger wallets :D

See post one in this thread for the discount code
