A list of EBC brake pad catalog numbers that fit the water-cooled 1200 and 1250 R/RS front and rear brake calipers would be helpful. I really hate it when I order a set of brake pads and when installing them they don't fit because I misread the numbers in the fitment catalog.

The other thing that would be interesting to me is what is the best way and the best product to clean brake discs that have become contaminated with stuff that had degraded braking performance or has resulted in braking pulsing? I was at one brake seminar years ago when they cautioned against using commercial brake parts cleaner spray and recommended using denatured alcohol instead to clean brake discs. What would you recommend to clean brake discs?

Hi, Thanks for your comments. We do have a catalogues section on our EBC Brakes dot com site which should help you and We no longer supply brake cleaner but a number of our customers do recommend the Muc Off Brake Disc Cleaner.
