Your choice of discs really depends on who makes them in the right spec.
Im not sure who PVD use to make the discs for their kits but I know Courtenay Sport use Pagid discs with their kits.
Im running the Courtenay kit on mine and its great! Very positive feel to the pedal and great repsonce from the brakes.

They are good - but you need to run braided hoses to stop the excessive pedal travel/spongy feel.

Ive got braided hoses all round on mine and got used to the spongy pedal, didnt drive it for 3 weeks though and felt a bit scary, but when you plant your foot you hit the windscreen.
Im running black diamond grooved discs and standard pads, no need to get green stuff pads and drilled/groved discs really as they stop more than good enough!Only got groved as plain were out of stock.
If you order off PVD and it isnt Joff that serves you then make sure you check ur order when it comes, or actually, just ask to order through Joff when you ring up to save the headaches i had.
Ul be ok then and will probably get your goods the next day! Sorted!
