    I went through this dilema and the general advice was stick with the standard discs. The standard pads are also very good but i went for sbs pads as they offer better bite

    You will probably get decent wavy discs cheaper than standard ones

    I'm waiting on a set of extra light UP7's to be delivered from Dymag.
    When I take my current discs of my wheels, I'll weigh the wrp discs compared to the standard ones. If the wrp ones are heavier I won't be using them, so you could have them for what they cost me!!!
