    Hi Folks. I have recently put my Sprint through its MOT, (my first) and it passed with advisories. One of the things was brakes. The pads are low and the front rotors are apparently warped. I have now bought two new rotors and a full set of pads before I could ask for advice ( I couldn't access the forum) and was wondering what people think about the choice and maybe advise for future reference. I got 2 EBC rotors non handed £127ea, and EBC pads sintered HH £28 both sets . Bendix MR sintered rear pads £18. I also got a D.I.D Extreme chain and sprocket kit premium x-ring £115.
    I looked at OEM parts and almost fell off my chair when I saw the price. I could almost have bought the bike again. Have I made a mistake or is it a good buy.
