Opinions on brake setup
Ok so my rear rotor and pads are pretty well shot and I'm looking around for replacements. The only thing I've found without forcing me to sell my first born(justkidding) was this setup on KneeDraggers;
ABM PEAK Stainless Steel Brake Rotor - 220mm Solid Rear Brake Disc - Kawasaki ZX6
Ultra lightweight stainless steel rotor, with titanium anodized aluminum Floaters & Carrier.
New design stainless steel rotor. This ABM rotor uses a new proprietary blend of stainless steel, available at Spiegler, that performs as well as iron, with all the benefits of stainless. Couple this with an all new ultra lightweight design carrier, and you have a new benchmark in motorcycle braking performance. Available now in full floating configurations, for most popular sport bikes.
Floater
Hard anodized aluminum floater, semi or full floating to allow for expansion and contraction of the rotor and carrier. This also allows for axial and radial movement of the rotor. All of this results in a better braking response by compensating for brake disc and carrier movement.
Carrier
CNC-machined, high grade aluminum, titanium anodized.
New rear rotor from ABM; stainless steel available for most popular sport bikes
and
Braking Brake Pads - Kawasaki ZX6D - Rear
SM15 Semi–Metallic
•Most versatile and best suited all-around pad for OE replacement
•Offers great feel and power while working well in low to medium temperatures
•Works well in wet or dry conditions
•Recognized and known by their black color
•SM15s are best suited for street, off-road and ATV
What do you guys think?? I dont track, it's just for street use and spirited mountain rides. I dont know much about either of these companies so lemme know your opinions. Thanks guys.

Hahahahaha... there ya go! I bet the manufacturer can't beleive that someone wants to buy a rear setup.. "Hey joe, hey joe, come here.... look, I told you someone would buy this set up eventually"... Hahahaha.... Just kidding man, to think I have been riding for nearly over 25 years and still NEVER have changed a rear brake pad or disk... Hahahahaha
Just use OEM or something cheap
