It's Brembo. Of course they are fantastic! I'm not so sure you will be able to tell any difference between them and the other brands performance wise though. But let's be honest here, YOU aren't buying them for a performance increase anyway. You're buying them because they are cool. You won't be disappointed.

So you're running them bro? It looks like they're available in both 310 and 320 mm, which one did you go with and what's the difference between the 2?
I'm looking get another set of rotors to put on my green wheels, has anyone ran these before? Any comments about em?

all else equal, bigger brake disc is better. For the same clamping force produced at the caliper, the braking torque at the disc is higher, hence the performance increase without any disadvantage at the user level: same force at the lever, same temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
However, a bigger disc has more moment of inertia (slightly different steering feel) and it's structurally weaker, because the bolting point remain at the same circle on the rim.
One could argue that the difference between 310 and 320 mm is academic at just a little bit more than 3%, but everything adds up.
Jay, go with 320 is you get them. No reason not to.
Uh oh... Went to my buddies shop today, started out talking Brembo rotors and ended up talking about possibly a full-monty setup with Brembo calipers too...
I just peeked at the calipers for the ZX14, GEEZ they are high, the 3 calipers for the bike cost more than a C14 with a KLR thrown into the deal on the side!
