        So it's likely that nothing special is needed.
        Thanks for the info.

          Nothing special needed. I've used Kawi, EBC, Ebay generics etc. You will notice a different but all of them are a huge improvement on stock.

          One thing to bear in mind is if you go with GS550 Rotors then sintered (EBC HH etc) pads are really harsh on them.... I did run sintered pads for a season on one set but you could really see where the pads had been at the end of it...

          OK with the CBR rotors though.
